BBS's are a pretty big nostalgia trap for me.

I spent my childhood using an old 8088 dialing up boards / exploring our local areas bbs scene. Hell, I met my wife on a BBS originally - we were chatting later at a party and it came up and we realized we had spoken a few times before.

The BBS period reminds me of freedom, exploration, and a time when everything wasnt monetized by ultra corps. Its that memory that worries me. I sometimes wish I could go back to that time but you can never swim in the same river twice. Its moved on. We need to also.

Its a trap. One I fall into every once in a while.
