BBS I miss you
January 26th, 2010
The past couple of days I’ve been thinking about how awesome dial-up BBS systems used to be fromĀ my youth. The local Madison ones like Screaming Demon II and Beeline to mention a couple. This was before the web came along and killed them. This was before DSL and cable modems and ISPs. This was when you had to know the phone number and dial into it with your trusty modem. I can totally remember worrying about the modem handshake waking up my parents and was overjoyed to have learned the AT commands to disable the speaker on my internal modem.
So tonight I would just like to give a warm shout-out to the BBS boards of my past. Without you I would have never gotten into computers.
