People nowadays always say "There are still BBS's out there, just click on this link - http:\\xyz". What they don't understand is that clicking a stinking link on the internet isn't the same thing. I miss the good old days when I had to prepare my 1200 bps modem and enter the phone number myself. I loved watching the cursor zip accross the screen displaying ASCII characters. Back then, who really needed graphics online. Numbers, letters and symbols were all we needed. I remember when I was younger, back in Washington State, I was a member of an HP users group at a local Hewlett Packard HQ. At night I would dial in with my Commodore Vic-20 and 300 bps modem and play a game called "Empire" for hours on end. Boy those sure were the days.
