    Hello guys,

    This is probably common knowledge in this group, but for the benefit and
    joy of any new comers (such as myself) and if you're interested in the
    good old BBS space, I recommend this documentary:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dddbe9OuJLU&list=PL7nj3G6Jpv2G6Gp6NvN1kUtQuW8QshBWE

    Enjoy!

    ....

    Those were the days! I remember my own little 1 line BBS called Panic.
    Towards the end of the BBS era, games had gotten so big that it was easier
    to grab the disk and actually physically go to the user and copy the games
    and then upload them onto the BBS locally instead of over 28.8 or 56.6
    modems.

    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLop3s1hMlSJKXqmuFjK7gbJh2WAyllTTY is another good one, and it's newer. ;)
    I miss those days.
