Not sure if this is allowed, but I'm sure the mods will let me know.
Memories. LOL Things were so simple way back then it seems.
Did anyone host a BBS? I found this article kind of funny about 'fixing' WIndows by C:\FORMAT C:. Some things don't change. LOL
I've hosted my own BBS, but mostly downloaded from other BBSs. All those huge GIF/PNG files...
ASCII porn! LOL It take about 30 minutes to bang that out on a dot matrix, tractor feed, and, well, if you stood back about 5 feet and squinted one eye, it kinda looked like a pin up gal.
Maybe shorter time. I had Epson Lx400 (I think, it was something ..400). It was rather slow. But if you installed drivers for LX450, it printed way faster. But still no ASCII porn :)
