This had far less macross saga than I'd hoped!

> It's June 16, 1987. Ted Uhlemann ("iczer") plugs an Apple IIe's 300-baud[1] modem into a phone line his mother had just given him for his birthday, running Magic City Micro-BBS (written in Applesoft BASIC). He names it SDF-1 after his favorite anime

Dude was into anime in 1987?? Truly ahead of his time.

Oh this isn't about the anime Macross, just the name inspired by it.

Gosh I do hanker for some fresh new mecha stuff (guess where my HN name is from)

Last one I had was Armored Core 6
