villains

Ok, now, let me first be very up front and note that I’m really not a big fan of Disney movies. As a general rule, they tend to take excellent stories and then water them down so much that consuming them does not burn any mental calories. Still, I watch them now and then, and during my career in cinema Disney’s summer features were nearly required viewing. So, between that, occasional rentals, and the fact that I was once a child, I’ve seen most of Disney’s features.

I honestly don’t remember what the first BBS I joined was, though it was probably something like Allentown Tech or The Nucleus, both of which were boring-but-dependable local boards. I probably had to use my real name on whatever it was. Eventually, of course, I found out about boards that focused less on PD software and HAM radio, and more on 0-day warez and post/call ratios. A handle was required. Now, I’m not sure about all the handles I used, or their order, but I’ll try and reconstruct the history as best I can.
