BBS: The Documentary

I've been looking for this for a while, and I just found the whole thing on Google Video. Just finished downloading all 8 parts (5 hours). I can't wait to watch it. It will bring back memories of 300 baud modems and pre-web days. I had a friend who ran a paid BBS called The Spider's Web back in my high school days. Just thought I'd post it in case any other old timers were interested.

The thing is in 8 parts and like 4-5 hours long so you may want to check out the 11 min highlight clip first...

I also strongly recommend you purchase a copy of the dvd to support Jason Scott and his great work: http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/

Watched some of this and it looks very good. I might buy the DVD for the rest of it. This guy spent a ton of time putting this together.

Just saw this site where you can connect to a BBS running on a C64 over the internet:

Ah, the memories!
