Abstract/Contents:Profiles TurfByte, "an electronic bulletin board system (BBS) for golf course superintendents." States that the BBS concept is unique because "first, it is not necessary to be there to participate, and second, one may join in at any time." Explains that "to connect to TurfByte, all [one needs] is a computer, a modem connected to a telephone line and [the] computer, a communications software program and a little computer knowledge." States that "the key to any BBS's success is the number and quality of its users."
