04.16.2023 ... Mike Woltz, creator of Spitfire BBS
I found out sad news that the creator of Spitfire BBS has passed. Best wishes to his family. His website is now down so I created a copy as downloads were not working on the Wayback Machine: https://x-bit.org/spitfire/. Mike was still avalable in 2021-22 to answer questions or dig up old reg codes for SF. In fact i found a bug in the SF Newsletter and Bulletins that was not keeping track of when they were updated. He fixed this bug and sent me updated spitfire.exe and spitfire.ovr files! Sadly, i don't think this made it to the last release Spitfire 3.7. Lastly, here is a pic my registered copy of SF that i still have dating back to 1993 :)
