Same here. IIRC, I started with local BBSes when I was a teen(ager) with internal 2400 dial-up modems (ZOOM and Hayes). It got so addicting that I got in trouble with long distance calls (didn't know same area codes can be toll calls based on the phone service), prank calls for being a r0d3nt/n00b, etc.:/
Don't forget that rad(ical) old BBS Documentary -- Watch it for free on The Archive. Even old/. has a few old stories about this documentary:
... From my Seagate 1 TB HDD crash (clicks of death) with the ancient, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 stuff on it. It was a good run and reliable. It was time to o/` let it go o/`...:P

It doesn't matter who is the President. They're all the same! Trump will be too. :(
No kidding.
Ditto. I prefer old designs. None of these new stuff. Argh! Get off my lawn!
Yep, Japan still use them and other stuff. See my AQFL for links.
What about /.? What will we do? ;)

Good memories. I'd like to see an updated version!
What did she say and did she do it? :P
Yeah, I hate Edge. I'd rather use IE11.

Poor donkey!
USB and parallel cable adapters. They usually work. I had to do this for an old client who still wanted to use his HP LaserJet 6P. :O
Apple better fix their mess soon. Steve Jobs is not coming back.
Will there be pearls in these DMCA clams?
Prove it. :P
Steve Jobs, is that you? Aren't you dead? :P
Ditto. What about a dummy phone or any phone? ;)
I use Apple's Time Machine. It doesn't work.
What are the software requirements?
1 line ASCII arts FTW. ;)
Then, who will provide cable Internet for those who have nothing else affordable and fast? :(
... but their battery lives suck, require mobile phones, etc. I will stick with the old school Casio Data Bank watches.
Yep, annoying. Companies care not. :(
I only do local retail to buy something quickly, see, touch, pricematch, etc.
I wished more of those CCs were manually typed out by humans.
Nah. Dump it in Southern CA(lifornia)'s beaches like Newport Beach. ;)
