I used to love BBS's. That's how I got into computers. We used to pirate everything! Brings back memories...

i used to get all the latest c64 games of the bbs. I remember sitting there for hours with my modem on auto dial trying to connect then waiting for more hours while the games dloaded.

Couple thousand dollars, lulz. Back then I use to have an Amiga 500, which was way cheaper, not to mention better. I also had an Amiga modemwhich was so badass.

No, never. The net was seen as a totally new medium. Later, there was crossover in the form of gateways on some BBSs for e-mail and usenet.

i think there are still a few you can connect to with telnet, but it's not the same without that sound of the modem, and the frustration you feel when you are trying to connect to your favourite bbs and the line is busy... |
