bbs in addition to being one of it's
oldest, it was originally started in the late 80's on a Commodore 64 and grew
to be a source for Amiga support in
North Texas, since then it has become much more. Now all platforms are
welcome and the Tavern is considered a source for great multi-platform
multimedia files like jpeg, mpeg, s3m, xm, mp3, midi, and mod files.
If files are not your thing the bbs offers
dozens of online games and interesting text
files in addition to networked message areas that are similar to internet news.
The Bard's Tavern DOES NOT CARRY ADULT SOFTWARE OR PIRATED FILES
and has no plans to do so in the future, the bbs is designed for a mature but
not necessarily adult crowd. Graphic artists and digital musicians are
warmly welcomed. Science fiction and Histroy are also an area of shared
interest for our online community.

Tavern Status
The Bard's Tavern is currently Up periodically final repairs should be completed soon! The next planned maintenance event will be September 22, 2002 and will include a full backup.

Coming next a separate page with a collection of screenshots from the Tavern.
As with all my pages, I have tried to make this as lean as possible with minimal graphics for fast loads for those of you who access the net via analog modem or via lo-res display. All of my pages are done using Digital Quill for the Amiga computer. I also do not plan to add frames.
