Quarter Deck created some really nice software.... Never had a package that didn't do what it said. Ran a small BBS out of my house in the service. All it served up was information on all running BBS's in Korea (Both PC and Amiga... most of them where Amiga) as well as the latest scores for Galactic Trader. (If I remember the name right.) One Amiga 500, one 2400baud modem (couldn't afford the high speed 9.6 ) and two floppy's one for the BBS one for the data. Best program was a phone answering machine written in REXX... used the Amiga voice capability to do the message.
