You did an impressive job. Thank you. The reason this information did not exist in written form is that it was fairly obvious to those who knew Creative Computing and could readily identify the magazine, to the point of nobody thinking about writing it down. I knew Creative Computing (it was one of my favorite computer magazines, along with BYTE and Nibble) and if someone asked me, I would readily identify it.
Now, I believe there is a lesson here. Those who were into computing at that time know a lot of stuff that never got written down. Maybe we should talk more with younger computer geeks who never heard a teletype (I love the sound they make) or have no idea we elders like to stay within 80 columns because of IBM punchcards.
You may have questions we can answer. Let's get them asked.
It's also fun to stop by the Museum of Communications [0], about 3 miles down the road, to see old working telephone exchanges and such. There's a lot of commonality between the two. (They are only open on Tuesdays, first Sundays of the month, or by appointment.)
The MoC runs its own BBS off of an AT&T 3B2 model 500 [1], which can be accessed via telnet.
