The beauty of the BBS was you didn't even need a computer. I used an old DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) terminal and a 2400 BPS Racal Vadic modem to connect. I remember there was this thing called FIDOnet that BBSs has that was Internet-like if not actually Internet-based. It was a pretty fair approximation of forums like this one. That we were doing all this at work made it all seem not only not-lame but cool! |
