Particles! was founded on May 25th, 1992 as a BBS board that opened up in Northern California. At that time, we were catering to the local BBS community and C64 users (we were running it on a C128). The name "Particles!" is actually a play on a theme that was common for BBS's back then - name everything "board". In other words, we had BBS's called "Surf Board" and "Circuit Board" so we thought "Particle Board" would be a nice play on the theme. Of course, instead of continuing with just that, we figured we would change it to "Particles!" so people would just be dumbfounded by the name.

Particles! the webpage was started on July 25th, 1996 as a way to advertise the BBS. It had many themes over the years, such as "Awe of the Chaos" which celebrated the group "The Charlatans" from 1997-2002, "The US 99E page" from 1998-1999, "The Particam!" from 1998-2002. The only thing constant on this page is change, and the topics at hand are what I'm into at that given time. If I get bored, that section will fall into disarray and like an old building, will eventually be demolished. If at a later date I get a renewed interest, I'll start it up again. Some topics will never be revived, like "The MP3 List" because the interest is so far gone it'll never be back.

I'm always interested in suggestions, so feel free to drop us a line if you have any suggestions. Thanks as always for dropping in.
