Yeah, I went the same route... only a few years before that. DESQview multi-tasking BBS running on DOS, multiple modems attached to a 12 serial port card, the works back then.
Only I didn't make a freaking penny on that stuff... but it was just fun being able to host all that, just to say that you could.
Doing the commercial design off of some some application that ran on GEM (I forget the program I used, but it kicked-ass for the time), and being 19 years old and making mint just because I was the only geek in town... priceless back in '88.
I know the feeling, bro
