Obscure C64 textmode software from 83/84. Microtel 600 was for videotex (Viditel in the Netherlands) and telesoftware (software that you download through teletext). Com-In seems to be for radio communication (RTTY) and other things. The software at the top (PA3ASM) is some sort of assembler or machine code monitor?

Pics from here. Thanks to Akira for the suggestion.

CloneWorld BBS, 1988.

This is the welcome screen for the late Mike Cohen’s Cloneworld BBS in Matawan NJ. It was heavily animated, upon logging into the BBS it was completely drawn from the bottom up using ANSI animation starting with a black screen. The text (Welcome to Cloneworld etc) was drawn last, swooping in from the lower right and swirling around the screen until it landed as seen here. Our BBSes were local phone calls to each other, and Mike and I became good friends and spent a lot of time on the phone discussing BBSing, computers, and cars.
