A friend of mine forwarded me this entertaining archive of BBS'es (Bulletin Board Systems) from over the years. I'm impressed at the research someone had to do to put this all together.

I'm sure all you Online Old-Timers will remember them fondly. Before the Internet, and even before AOL people used their computers, along with a fancy and usually expensive peripheral called a modem, to talk online. There were also "gay" BBSes and cruisey ones, along with boards devoted to every possible subject..
I looked up several that I used to call in the archive, and they were all there.
That era, and the culture around it would make for a good book someday.
