About Chinet.com
It all started in 1978 when Randy Suess and Ward Christensen created the world's first computer bulletin board system - "CBBS". As the years went by, Randy became interested in Unix systems, and in 1982 he created the world's first public-access Unix system, then called "wlcrjs". Two years later it became Chinet. It supported UUCP e-mail and Usenet "netnews" (fed from ihnp4). It ran on one of the earliest Compaq "portable" with a 4 MHz 8088 processor, 640k of memory, and a 10 meg hard drive.
