Yes, very cool. I do wish Rob Sherman (the author of that article) would figure out the spelling of "Synchronet", "WWIV", recall correctly the common DCE rates (which were not all "baud rates") and other technical details that were relayed in the article, but still in all, very glad to have BBSes in the spotlight! I hope it keeps publishing for a long time and the issues aren't lost to time.
