BBS Documentary

I've just finished watching a really good documentary series about BBS on YouTube; made about 20 years ago it describes what being online was like 20 years prior to its creation.

YouTube :: BBS : The Documentary

As someone who is too young for that time it's both incredibly interesting and very quaint as they describe things we take for granted today. Talk of how much of an odd sensation it was for the devops to have their hand-built computer sat beside their bed being used by someone miles and miles away is just... funny by today's standards where every one of us must use hundreds of computers owned and operated by people around the world.

Absolutely worth a watch if you have a spare few hours.
