Welcome!  I think you may have set a new record for setting it up so quickly. 
II started 
HobbyNet back when the nodes were connected via phone lines and modems.  It
was 
based in Miramar, Florida (Miramar bordered the county line between Broward
and Dade 
counties.)

I called it HobbyNet because my wife loved using Prodigy to post about
cross-stitch, and 
when I dropped Prodigy, I felt I could start my own BBS for less money. 
Started with 
Mustang Software's Annihilator running in DOS.

I was one of the first to switch to the Windows version because they offered
it for a huge  
discount if you purchased it before it was even developed.  I never regretted
it.

Anyway, thanks for joining and thanks for posting.
