Thank you, Ward Christensen. RIP. I was just commenting on another thread earlier today, recounting my nostalgia for dialing into a small BBS after school and talking to my friends.
I met a ton of friends via local BBSes in the 90s. A couple of girlfriends too.
And then there was how I got tons of warez and games… I had access to my dad’s university internet account, so I could get on Usenet and download porn pics. Then I would upload them to local BBSes and get super high ratios.

And then I had the porn and the software.
A true visionary. Thank you for your contributions to the local network that benefinutted from those actions 🤘
Happy to be of service. To myself and others.
