Bulletin boards (BBS’s) were the dialup precursors to internet websites. People shared files and heavily pixelated images across telco lines and dialup modems. At the time, a 386 PC was the standard, before Pentium 1,2 and 3 arrived. The first version of Windows gave rise to Windows 95 and the rest is history. It’s cool that anyone in their 50’s nowadays has witnessed the entire lifecycle so far of personal computing and the rise of the internet. And are among the last people in the west to remember what it means to play outside for the whole day as a kid.
