BBS: The Documentary

ewok2k rated 28 months ago
Long before the Internet escaped from the lab, connected the planet and redefined what it meant to use a computer ...there was a brave and pioneering band of computer users who spent their time, money and sanity setting up their home computers and phone lines to welcome anyone who called.

I use to run the "Bounty Hunter" BBS back in Slidell, LA for a few years. The only newsgroups back then were on FidoNet - Loved those days!

BBSs were awesome. I remember buying a 14.4 Kbps modem for my 386SX and calling up the local BBS. It was so cool. Those were the days... The Internet is not as community oriented as BBSs were.

Back in the day there was only the BBS. The internet was only a glimmer on the tech horizon.
