Geektastic

Wow, a compilation of BBS numbers from the last 20 years.

For those of you too young to recall, Bulletin Board Systems were the pre-web way that you would use your modem, dialing up these random numbers you would get somehow. Then you would post a message. One person could post at one time. And the text you recieved, well, at 1200 baud, it would come in one letter at a time.

I used to run one of these myself as a teenager from '85-87. Seeing all these old numbers and names sure brings that time back to me.
