Additional Information
In November 1977, Charles Oropallo authored and implemented an online Bulletin Board System (BBS) called Access-80. It operated on a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I, Level II microcomputer. There were only a handful of such systems online on the entire planet at that time.
Charles wrote a host program in assembly language and a bulletin board program in BASIC that ran on this system. The message handling program he named "email" (and still wishes he had registered it with the United States Trademark and Patent office).
Its purpose was to provide a personal messaging system for local computer enthusiasts. It was originally placed online in East Greenbush, New York with a 300 baud modem and home brewed auto answering device (compare that with today's 56k modems for dialup which is 56,000 baud). At that time, there were only a handful of such systems available for anyone with computers and modems to dial in to.
Shortly after, it was concurrently placed online in Schenectady, New York (by Brian, a technician who worked at Albany Medical Center at the time).
In 1982, Charles moved from the Albany, New York area to Nashua, New Hampshire, and so did Access-80. Charles's original Nashua Access-80 setup is shown here.
It was not long before it was concurrently online in Londonderry as well as Nashua (by Carl Robertson). Access-80 remained online until 1987.
Charles founded CharlesWorks® in October of 1998 in order to provide affordable hosting solutions. At that time he was only providing Internet connectivity for several personal websites at very low speed.
Over time, Charles's desire to provide reliable (as well as still being affordable) Internet solutions moved CharlesWorks® into more commercially oriented markets. Charles still helps individuals get personal sites on the web.
