I'm starting to hate computing and the Internet so much because of AI, misinformation, etc, I'm going to have to pull my 486 in from the garage, hookup my Lexmark printer find a newsgroup and see if I can get some of the spark back for computing... Might have to go back further to my IBM PC AT and a dot matrix printer and BBS. It's really bumming me out.

😂 probably less addictive than drinking and passing out, too. Edit: I didn't click the link and assumed it was chloroform..

I'm game, please keep me posted--I still have QWK packet readers, not the least of which is the SLiMR. Still a Greg Hewgill fan. Run Wildcat? I'd be all in.

I ran a two line BBS back in the day, Mookie's Place BBS. It ran on Waffle v1.65 and was awesome. We had our own newsgroups and pulled in some Usenet groups via UUCP. We even had ASCII games and downloads (X, Y and Z modem supported!).

I miss those days. I may figure out how to run another BBS.
