That is interesting. Is there any documentation available to show how it was employed over the bbs?  I've looked around to satisfy my curiosity, but haven't found anything.  I'm mainly curious if this was all done electronically through the bbs using credit/debit cards, banking aba routing numbers with account numbers, or...?
