# A Change in the FWKUG MBBS

There has been a change in the FWKUG MBBS. Ron Lane, Sysop, has been running his board on a Kaypro with a dual 44Meg hard drive. Ron acquired some new software called ROS from a programmer in New Mexico. It is extremely fast and very closely resembles the old BBS that we are all used to. It is still a ‘free’ access BBS, but you will have to re-register to have the full time impliented in you hour time limit. I believe that this is a good idea because it allows people to get on the board easier now.
