Hello, My
name is Bob
Nunn
(Bobby Nunn to those who knew me in school, and I sign my
name Robert William Nunn Jr.). Born May 29, 1954, born in
Oklahoma City, we still own a home in Mustang Oklahoma
and in Oklahoma City and we rent one and live now in the
other. Yes that is right after 26 years in Memphis, we
have moved back to OKC years ago January 2013. I attended
U.S. Grant High School in Oklahoma City (class of 1972)
and usually try to make the reunions. I also attended
Bryant Ave Vocational Center and received a degree in
Industrial Chemical Technology. I worked for TG&Y
like most everyone else in Oklahoma my age, originally
selling Pets in the world's largest TG&Y at SW74th
and Penn and eventually traveled Oklahoma, Kansas, and
Texas as a Hardlines Merchandiser. I worked for a time
with US Aquatics and USA Pet Supply. We had been living
in Memphis from 1986 through 2012 and worked a number of
years for Wang's International as Marketing Manager. I
have operated Operator Headgap BBS since moving to
Memphis starting with a Commodore 64 and 2 1541 drives
using a 300 baud Total Telecommunications Modem for
dialup access and 6485 v1.2 BBS software.
Headgap
is now an Telefinder 5.7.3 Internet BBS, Web Server and
Mail Service with 4 servers over BroadBand Cox Business
Service. We have been on the web since 1995. To send me

I had lost my
mother Martha Bell Rankin Nunn and my brother Steven Ray
Nunn years ago. My Dad Robert William Nunn Sr. a Korean
War Veteran and Golden Gloves Flyweight Champion. My Dad
was our main anchor and the reason we visited Oklahoma
City at least at Christmas time each year. On Wednesday
February 10, 2010 Robert
W. Nunn Sr.
passed away at 81 years of age. We had posted a notice on
our site and shut down our business for the first time in
many years, other than our small Christmas vacation. I
want to thank everyone for the kind words. Dad and Mom
both attended Capitol Hill High School and we have all
lived Southside Oklahoma City.
We now have moved
back to Oklahoma City and are glad to be home. After 26
years in Memphis we have moved both ourselves and our
business here. We are living in the house I grew up in
after my friend and former classmate and retired
policeman Paul Randall took on the task of remodeling my
Dad's old house.
I am married to a
Tulsa girl Cheryn
Nunn who
is also a member of my Operator Headgap Systems and our
company president. Cheryn evidently knows where
everything is so I let her drive most of the time. Cheryn
was a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), held a real estate
license, worked for TG&Y at their headquarters in
Merchandising. She also worked for Century 21 River Oaks
in Memphis.
We have a married
daughter, Amanda who still lives in Memphis with her
husband Scott. Amanda worked for Circuit City, Best Buy,
CompUSA, Apple, and a company that did most of Apple's
laptop repair Flextronics. I don't know where she got all
of her geek talent. I wouldn't think having 1/2 a dozen
computers in your living rooms since you where born would
have anything to do with it. I think she picked it up
helping her elementary school teachers use or repair the
computers they were trying to use. After graduating Summa
Cum Laude from State Tech she is presently employed but
if you need someone good she I am sure would entertain an
offer. She and her husband Scott both reside in
Memphis.
I was a board
member of the now defunct Applecore
of Memphis, Inc. the local Macintosh User Group and also
hosted and maintained their site. http://www.memphisapplecore.com
having been a multiple term president, sysop and
librarian for the group. I was active in the Memphis
Amiga Group and before that the Memphis Commodore Users
Club. Their old newletters may be of interest to you if
you used those old computers. Memphis
Amiga Group (MAG)
While no longer active this is a nicely done archive
of the history, newsletters, diskmags & more. MCUC
(Memphis Commodore Users Club) newsletters are now online
as well.
I used to write a
column for WWW.Dot Magazine that is no longer in print. I
am fairly certain its demise had little to do with me,
but judge for yourself. You can view my somewhat dated
but still useful articles here
in an easy read format. Presently I am writing
Bob's
Mac Tech Tips
as I learn solutions to little puzzling problems as well
as a general repository of stuff most people should know
about their Mac computers but don't. It is mostly based
on the Classic Mac OS but includes many valuable OSX tips
which will continue to improve as I learn more about
using the newer operating systems and hardware.
I just added a
new section called Bob's
Random Thoughts
that have absolutely no purpose. Some may find them
entertaining or just plain stupid. I will be adding bits
to it as time allows.
We run
PortalMemphis.com a collection of some of the Best
Memphis Web Sites although now it has become somewhat
dated. http://www.portalmemphis.com
My wife and I via
Headgap Systems also provide Marketing, Sales and
Technical Support for TeleFinder Internet BBS/Web Server
http://www.tfbbs.com
or call 1-405-601-5288
for info. This software is currently available but only
runs on older Mac systems. Still in use is some areas
since there has been nothing to replace it. Since it only
runs on older hardware it is fairly inactive but my
system is still online. http://headgap.com
I presently am
self employed. Operator Headgap Systems has long been
incorporated. Our company runs several ecommerce sites
including our Mac Store - http://resale.headgap.com,
or http://mac-batteries.com
and http://drivejumper.com.
We do a bit of hosting for folks and you can view some of
those sights by visiting my links
page.
Give us a call if you want to buy a good refurbished Mac
computer or if you need yours repaired or
upgraded.
