Anyone have Night Owl 26 ISO? I looked everywhere and no one has it, so I'm hope some sysop has the disc and can burn it.

Last I knew, the Night Owl series ended at #23. Am I mistaken on that?

I think you may be right as I have most of the NOCD collection here and the last one I have is #23.

Yup. Honestly I think it goes to 28 .... I have 4 through 25, and 27 here. Missing 26.

I wrote a script to do it for me under Maximus. Had several online for a
year; didn't have a single download from any of them. Took them offline and haven't bothered since.

Back in the 90s when I put mine up, I had callers DLing stuff all the
time. Even thought about getting a 2nd line.

After the internet, they were useless though.

I had one of those on my BBS back in the early/mid 90's. It was a
Panasonic brand, as I recall, and it's interface was SCSI. Kind of a
bear to get configured/working with MSDOS, but it did work well. Having
5 CDROMs online was really a nice thing back in those days. The
"swimsuit GIFs" were very popular... LOL

One of my OS/2 clients who was a CPA had all those CPA books on

it everytime I was at his place. That was in the 90s.

I had 2 of those, 2 hard drives and 4 panasonic cd-roms in my BBS tower in the hay day. That was 4 discs online, plus the 2 4 disc changers, made 8 discs online at once.

Now that I just downloaded the images, I have 152 shareware CDs online at all times. I wish I had this kinda space back in the 90s.

Imagine this monstrosity... at one point I had a dual SCSI controller
with 2 5-disc changers and 8 single drive CD-ROMs. All external. What
a cabling nightmare. Internally there were 2 IDE 500MB drives and 2 1GB
SCSI drives. I also had a pair of glacier-slow 2GB "tape-disk" drives.

Needless to say, free drive letters were scarce.

I had an IDE CD Changer that held 3 discs, but it was always jamming up.

When I was a telecom manager, I would have loved to have all of the Northern Telecom PBX documentation in a changer. The NTPs, as they called them, originally came in a dozen or so spiral bound books, and later on a handful
of CDs.

You and me both. I keep thinking about all of the messages that have gone since 1988, when I started running BBSes instead of calling them. I was a co-sysop for a BBS, and managed a handful of networked bases. Started my own BBS in 1991.

We were a bunch of naive kids, and we learned about life as we went, and documented our lives on the BBSes like a community journal.

We had a couple of people go through their first big romances on the BBS,
and their first breakups. Callers dating callers. Callers breaking up with callers. First jobs. First firings. Many other firsts.

The text file writers went through a Hunter S. Thompson phase in the early '90s, I'd love to revisit those messages.

Back then, I had 3 32mb hard drives, then a 120, then a 320. Would have
been great to be able to afford historical backups. As it is, I have one partial backup from 1994 and one from 1999.
