Back in the 80's and the early 90's BBSs ruled until the internet started becoming available in 1995 (in my area).
I miss those days. Computing used to be fun and educational. Now, they are really an appliance for the average home user.
Don't get me wrong, I am really happy that we have sites and forums to discuss issues, but how many wish we still had Amiga BBSs still up and running???
