I used the system around '93 on. Was introduced to Tim through a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 fan club magazine mention - a Tim member had @dug a huge Satellite of Love feature in Tim. I liked making gadgets on there, like vending machines and voice recorders and so on. Fun as hell for a then-twelve year old. Most people were older than me at the time. Now I'm 27 and I and I miss the days of Tim, BBSes, and mischief. TinyTIM was a hell of a place… I used the system around ‘93 on.

Maybe pogo, or maybe wheat-chex, I don't remember. But that, since it was, essentially an "open" account, lots of people (re: hacker kiddies) were using it. I had given the account to my friend Casey McCabe, who, being new to UNIX was experimenting with commands. This experimentation resulted in him changing 'mike's password to 'mikeekim'. I knew, at the time, when he did this, but I had NOT realised that the Mike account is the one TIM was running under. So a couple of days later I was talking to you, and you were unhappy (I remember a note of panic, but perhaps that is the embellishment of my imagination) about this. When I informed you of the new password, you were, I would say, displeased. BUT, it meant you could tar up TIM and move it someplace safer. Yay.
