    I'm going to get with Sean Dennis to get a thumb drive of the Night
    Owl CD's, and put them on over here. I like to have the old files
    online, in case some folks get an older computer, and want stuff like
    that. You likely won't find much of that on the Internet anymore.

    I still have some older (mid-90s) DOS and Windows games and shareware
    on my BBS, but mainly because I had that there on my original BBS in
    the 90s. I ha a feeling some of it might be hard to find now, as most
    sites might not be interested in carrying that kind of stuff anymore

    you can get almost any shareware CD you can imagine from here. https://archive.org/details/software
    They don't have everything but they have most of what any sysop could want.

    I haven't been on that site in a long time. The last time I was there,
    I got a nasty message because "I was downloading too much".
