BBSes were awesome. It was this whole other level of subculture within the already nerdy computing subculture. And the people you were connecting with were all in your own community! I remember I would grab the local computer user newsletter every time I'd go to the computer store with my father just to pore over the BBS listings to see if there were any new ones that had popped up recently. It was really a fun time to be part of that whole early (and very local) era of 'online computing'.
