Remember before dialup? BBS?

by on Mar.08, 2010, under art, Culture, retro, technology

I found an old dot matrix printout from the local bbs of my youth.  With their easy to remember phone number my 2400 baud modem transformed my computer into a portal to community resources to, amuse, educate,  and entertain.  it was where i received my first electronic mail.  (a pain because they only had one phone line and it could take hours to get connected)  i wish i had more printouts from then.  I would love to see the main menu again.  it might be cool to setup a mud like one of the old BBSes, or maybe a website.  maybe just a retro setup for wordpress.
