Da Da Warren Memorial Memorial

From the Ex-Sysop's Extremely Cluttered Desk

A lot of the young whippersnappers today don't remember the days before the Web. Back then, all there were were local BBSes, and by gum, that were enough! That's why some of us old farts decided to get together and put up this Web page honoring Da Warren BBS and Grill. Once located near scenic Bakersfield California, it was regarded by many (well, some) as the silliest BBS ever. It ran for three years, until I packed off to college. Then, uh, it went down. So kids, get a glimpse of what nerd life was like before the phrase "Information Superhighway" induced vomiting. There's no need to thank me, I'm just doing my job.

2/9/98: A Da Da Warren Memorial Memorial exclusive! View the log of Great 6 Flags Savings: A Virus Scanner Is Uploaded and Other Things Happen, the rather odd piece of online performance art with which Leonard and Andy bade their last farewell to Da Warren. Actually performed on the moon on a Qmodem host running on Andy's system. The title of the piece comes from the fact that, whilst performing the piece, Leonard and Andy had both been drinking Sprite from cans with the aforementioned phrase printed on them. Whether by coincidence or synchronicity, no man can say. Quiet, you.

2/2/98: Just put up a couple of pages. This site will be slowly filled in. At the very least we'll have a last-modified date on this page so you can see how far behind schedule we are. Not that we have a schedule.
