Hey Mortar,

Thanks for that - yes, BBS: The Documentary was 'the' definitive documentary on BBSes. The main thing over Jason's documentary vs mine is that his felt like a goodbye (what with the 'switching the power off' bit towards the end of the series). My documentary is called Back to the BBS because it's looking at the revival in modern years, especially enabled by internet-telnettable boards; the best of both worlds IMO.

Cheers,
Al
