Not sure if this is allowed, but I’m sure the mods will let me know.

Memories. LOL Things were so simple way back then it seems.

Did anyone host a BBS? I found this article kind of funny about ‘fixing’ WIndows by C:\FORMAT C:. Some things don’t change. LOL

    I’ve hosted my own BBS, but mostly downloaded from other BBSs. All those huge GIF/PNG files…

      ASCII porn! LOL It take about 30 minutes to bang that out on a dot matrix, tractor feed, and, well, if you stood back about 5 feet and squinted one eye, it kinda looked like a pin up gal.

        Maybe shorter time. I had Epson Lx400 (I think, it was something …400). It was rather slow. But if you installed drivers for LX450, it printed way faster. But still no ASCII porn :)

      I really do feel like if computers had peaked somewhere in the 90s, maybe with just incremental improvements to technology at that point, that the world would be a (less convenient but) much better place today.
