philippe did say he wouldnt give it out because of copyright issues. clawson's estate could sue over it being distributed. according to his obituary he has heirs. https://obits.mlive.com/us/obituaries/flint/name /patrick-clawson-obituary? pid=176308972 ---

I tried to find out what happened to Telegrafix and Clawson yesterday, I came across that Obituary but didn't think it was his, as there was no mention of running a company, or living in CA or VA (Where Telegrafix came from/moved to)

I remember when I talked to Pat on the phone once or twice he liked to brag about his experience at CNN and his accumulated awards. It sounds like the right guy to me.

ProBoard was the first BBS software I ever seriously ran, because
all the BBSes in this area used it. (Mr. Homie's Neighborhood, which
moved down to Milwaukee was one of them).

I don't think I've ever actually seen a ProBoard system. <shrug>

I seem to remember there being a few ProBoard BBSes in my area in the 90s.

I'd heard ProBoard started as a clone of QuickBBS. Similarly, RemoteAccess (which I had ran in the 90s) also was a clone of QuickBBS..

obituary he has heirs. https://obits.mlive.com/us/obituaries/flint/name/patrick-clawson -obituary?pid=176308972

I didn't know he passed away. Thanks.

he had the same middle name as this obit and his obituary was also posted in winchester,va so think this is the guy.

someone posted it on facebook years ago.

apparently he was loved by a lot of people which is in contrast to how he was to his customers. he was a real vicious person when dealing with the bbs community. people were very demanding back then, though.

i think someone just posted it on the internet. he has paid people for it in the past, or so he says so he thinks he owns it. he said he paid clawson money for it and he got an asm dump. pcmike looked at the paperwork and the signatures were all computer generated. he would talk about it on irc and i'd go back in the logs and catch him lying so who knows what the truth is.

Philippe got back to me.

"Yes, it's legit, he "bought" the rights from Jeff Reeder, former employee of Telegrafix. Although I have my doubts about who actually had the rights to ProBoard after Pat died."

So there we go. It's probably not worth persuing, although I do wonder how much that nutjob paid for it.

I mean, he looks like he lives in a trailer park, so it can't be much...

oh i remember that twist. who knows if it was really him though.
i dont believe anything slasher says. he's so full of it it's incredible.

he cant buy the rights from someone that doesnt own the rights, anyways.

that's giving trailer parks a bad name.

He did invest a good amount of money in proportion to his likely net worth. If it makes him
happy, its better than buying heroin or oxycontin.
