Bob, Kathy, Deborah (and my other professor friends) : how are classes going.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1994 JUL 13 (NB) -- Metro Publishing, a San Jose company which publishes a weekly newspaper called Metro, plus seven community weeklies in Silicon Valley, has acquired a local bulletin board system (BBS) called City Connection and its system operator, Robert Kim.

Kim, who had run City Connection since 1992, now becomes the On- line Systems Administrator for Virtual Valley Inc., a subsidiary of Metro covering online systems.His initial duties are to run LiveWire, a BBS run by Metro.

Newsbytes discussed the new move with Kim as he started his first day of work at Metro."They bought the board and hired me," he said simply.Both LiveWire and his old board, City Connection, run under First Class, originally a Macintosh-based electronic mail program which has evolved into a bulletin board system through the addition of modems.

City Connection will close-down at the end of this month."What I'm doing is trying to get away from running systems for myself," he explained.City Connection "was a one-man operation with limited resources.The goals I'd set were hard to achieve by myself.Virtual Valley gives me resources."

Kim also discussed how the Metro service will compete with Mercury Center, which he called a "national service."On the other hand, "We're very community oriented, and we have community newspapers in the South Bay.We reach deeply into the community.And we're a community online service, not a national one."

LiveWire has free access limited to 30 minutes per day, Kim added."Additional privileges and access and daily time allotments start then."It's $7.50 per month for 100 minutes per day, plus chat and Internet mail as well as access to Usenet conferences. $25 per month gets you unlimited time, a mug, and t-shirt," he said.
