wildblue 7 #27 February 11, 2003 QuoteWhoa. I'm suddenly remembering my modem infancy. I was all into local BBSes in high school, then in early college, was telnetting all over the damn place. Anyone remember shadowbbs, or ISCA, or brinta? Heh... I loved BBSes! I remember getting a blazing fast 14.4 too! I was trying to explain Echo mail to someone the other day. WildCat, Renegade, Oblivion... Legend of the Red Dragon, Front Door, VGA Planets, SRE/BRE ***SysOp has broken in for chat*** heh I remember eventually not even allowing 2400 connections to my board - they took up the phone line too long downloading crap! ohhhh the glory days... where you actually had to be semi-intelligent to read and write to something that would be seen by tons of people.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey kid, I was programming on punched cards and even punched paper tape before you were born! Pass the Geritol!... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

TitaniumLegs 8 #36 February 12, 2003 QuoteNo never used Gopher, but I was a regular with SprintNets "Telemail" system, which was an early email/bulletin board type service. Quote I remember setting up UUCP ~87-88. The internet wasn't commonly available unless you were a government agency or educational institution. We were connected as a contractor into DDN/MilNet using X.25. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.
