    I also see your name elsewhere in fidoland and that you are operating a point on a Mac system?

    Yes. I am the sysop of Saturn's Orbit BBS, a Mystic-based system running at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, under node 4:801/188

    What's the perception of the BBS culture where you are?

    Back in the old days, we had thousands of systems, messaging networks and users. Around 1998 everything went silent with the introduction of the Internet, but we are experiencing a regrowth now.

    R80 (which covers Brazil) have around 5 active systems, and we have a bunch of Portuguese-based echos (called Rede Brasileira de Teleinformatica, RBT) which grants a good volume of messages.
