Welcome to show #009!  Today we're focusing on computerized Bulletin Board Systems!

Topics and links discussed in the podcast...

Jeff Ledger's Guide to TelBBS will get you back in the BBS game in no time.  Miss the old BBS days?  They're back...  Be sure to check out the various links from this web page.
The BBS Documentary is one of the finest historical accounts of a computing phenomenon that I've ever seen.  Hats off to Jason Scott, this is a masterpiece.  Many thanks to Jason for licensing his work under Creative Commons, making it possible for us to provide excerpts of his work in today's podcast.
If you see the BBS Documentary and are hungry for more, you're in luck!  Additional footage can be found in the BBS Documentary section on the archive.org website.
