Verrrry cool! Ah, the nostalgia...how well I remember those early BBSes.

I got my first modem in 1993, and ohmigosh I was SO excited! This was right after we'd gotten back from our honeymoon and I *totally* neglected the poor bridegroom as soon as I had a list of BBSes in my hands.

Even after we had the Internet and web browsers, for a couple years I had to use telnet to access our local library system. Could use some BBSes that way too, instead of direct dial-up.

But I get it - I've seen emulators that make it SEEM like you're accessing one of the old BBS systems, and this is the real thing. Neat!

And yes, I used to have an Apple II...actually mine was a IIc, which was supposed to be portable! HAhaha!
