Why do people budget so high for a simple BBS system?  I used to run a
popular system in my area, with a large number of messages, and the
whole thing ran great on a simple C64 with two floppy drives.  Why the
demand for huge storage requirements?  The only reason I can see it is
for downloads, and not every BBS even has a need for such things.
