Who were you in the BBS era? by etwas_egal2007-01-16 02:18:22
  as much as I tried.. by kent_eh 2007-01-16 07:24:55
I couldn't get my 300 baud acoustic coupler (on my Apple II+) to work thru the grungy party line we had had for phone service at that particular point in history.
Even if it had worked, every BBS that I had a number for was a long distance call (and back then LD was considerably more than $0.06/min) and would have put me into serious debt in a hurry.
