  • Before the Internet...

    From Marc Lewis@1:396/45 to All on Wed Apr 15 14:39:55 2020
    Hello all!

    Take a break from the internet's automated madness. Slow down,
    sit back and log into one of the BBSes advertised in this group.

    Before HTTP, WWW, WAIS, Gopher, Archie, or any of the internet stuff
    people take for granted now, BBSes were moving people's messages and
    files. We still do WITHOUT the spam. We do it without the glitz.
    We are real people at the keyboards -- not autoresponder robots!

    Never done it before? Need help? JUST ASK! Almost any BBS you
    call into will have a System Operator (SysOp) that would be happy
    to help you navigate the BBS environment.

    Best regards,
    Marc

    In my signature I have listed a BBS Software that started in 1984. It is the oldest BBS software on the Commodore still used today. There is an Apple IIe BBS that is older. So check out the "way F*&%ing before" the internet BBS. Of course, you need help getting on? Want to emulate a C64 and see it Old School? I gotchya!
    Also if your want to try emulation, I have a Vice and WinUAE package for your PC. Just let me know. Call out with CCGMS or JR-Comm!
