Still here !? GOOD !
This thread is for those of you who were old / lucky enough to remember and participate in the BBS days
Shortly after using a pc and playing games, I found an extension in the back of the computer and it had phone jacks integrated in it: I thought, "Hey.. I can plug a phone line in there.. but what for ????"
After talking with a teacher, he told me it was a MODEM (modulator/demodulator): it allowed me to connect to other computers using my phone line ! How sharp !
I discovered the BBS (bulletin board system)shortly after: it was a public/private server that had files, online games and chat apparels... The files that I found were either pictures (more on this later lol), animations (later), games (later) and programs (later) !
My world was forever changed !
In my next thread, more on what I downloaded, how I met the man who got me into the "scene" and how I set-up my OWN bbs !
