When computers kicked off, Guill Grace, from Toronto attending Northern Secondary School, was writing and creating software and game, while running bulletin board systems. BBSs, the one that because best known was the GEOS BBS, because the last numbers of the phone number spelt GEOS. Anchor Automation made a 1200 baud modem for the C64, cheapest modem around at the time, but the biggest problem was getting software that would allow you to use the modem. This is were Guill created Volks Term6480+ a Terminal software program that would allow you to download in Punter Protocol or Xmodem, along with connecting to Color BBS system. Further development also had the software with the ability to play sounds when connecting to certain BBS systems, so you would know if someone had sent you a message. This also move into the Dungeons and Dragons game that was being worked on as a separate loadable system that could be added to BBS systems, it was never really fully realized. Guill also wrote a number of Demos with sound and graphics, must cramming everything into 828 the tape memory section of the C=64.
