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 about 7 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 have just added a Flickr

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 30 something year old 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.
