"Wayne Bell". The name makes hundreds of people look at you with this faint recognition, and then a shocking realization that you're talking about the creator of WWIV Software. His name is legion among many, many kids who started their own little BBSes, offering what files they could and trying to make a name for themselves. Created in 1984, WWIV was the BBS of choice for teenagers for a long time because of its modifiable source code and ease of use. While there were more complicated or feature-rich software programs out there, there was something about WWIV that just appealed to teenagers and made it the software of choice.
