Yes! I remember those days! Especially the slow loading and Ron answering the phone. Times have changed quite a bit. That was about 30 years ago.
Bus Depot is still Kickin'.

Hey,
Does anyone besides me remember the early days of Busdepot online?
I think I remember very slow modems and the very simple graphic of a bus taking forever to show up on my computer VGA three color screen.
Most times I gave up and ordered on the phone, but I do remember doing successful orders Come to think of it our server is almost as old as the first Busdepot web site!
And, back then I’m pretty sure Ron even answered the phone and guided me through some parts installs.
Happy Thanksgiving to Ron, Ken, Chris and any other of our venders on list.
