Well, thank you a lot Randy! Great idea, good times...

In case this interests someone, I recommend you to check out Jason Scott's BBS Documentary [http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/], and while the DVDs sold out, it seems to be available on his youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dddbe9OuJLU&list=PL7nj3G6Jpv...].

PS. adding a trailing dot after .com in the article URL saves you some trouble :)

I was going to recommend the same thing - great documentary. One of the places I learned about BBS's because I missed out (born too late). Also...I would recommend [https://www.textfiles.com/] to see some content from some bulletin boards

Jason Scott uploaded all the video he took trailing to places making the BBS Documentary to the Internet archive. There is more there.

TIL http://www.dns-sd.org/trailingdotsindomainnames.html I imagine that upsets cookies and scripts and such, but I wonder how long until they "fix" that?
