In the beginning
Tim Yao, a.k.a. ``Ender'',
is one of the Directors/SysAdmins of
MicroMUSE who dates back to the days when Stan Lim (``Jin'') ran
MicroMUSH. Back then, the original Cyberion City was organized in
a layout similar to that of a nine-story department store; credits
actually corresponded to what you could build or run; and Coyote,
Star, and Opera_Ghost were the active wizards under Jin. Michael
Stanley (Bard/Michael) was the head code-hacker; and Moulton
managed his Museum as he does now.
