  • Re: Looking for screensho

    From Greek Times@VERT/GRKTIMES to poindexter FORTRAN on Sun Feb 22 20:48:00 2026
    I recall from calling AST, PC Magazine's BBS, 3com and some others in

    Do you recall what was offered in PC Magazine's BBS?

    Were there full articles to read? special articles that didn't make it in print? Subscription information to get the magazine? Were there messages, files?

    you could download a few things. i called every one i could find.
    it's not overlooked. there's nothing to look at.

    But you *still* called every one you could find!
    So there *was* something unique these "boring" BBS had worth exploring ALL! :P

    are you running a bbs for the sole purpose of asking us questions for a newspaper article?

    you might be retarded.
    there was nothing to do back then. even cable tv sucked.
    after i called each bbs i never called back.

    it wasn't exploring.

    Since you dialed many of these, do you recall if these BBSes required to create a user account, or you were accessing them as guest?

    I seem to recall message boards separate from the magazine and a lot of
    older third party apps and shareware. Mind you, this was 1987 or so.
