True dat!  I wore out dial-up service back in the 80's and loved it...because
it was the only way for the average person to get onto the local boards.  But
these guys that want to put together a dial-up bbs on purpose--that's a special
kind of nostalgia that I hope to never experience.

I was one of those obnoxious Commodore 64 kids.  A real die hard "C=64-ever"
guy.  These days, I'm on some of the C=64 Facebook groups, and I just don't
get why these dudes put so much time and effort into restoring old C=64
equipment.  I mean we have C=64 emulators that are nearly 99.99999% identical
that we can do so much more with and these cats are fiddling with these
relics.  What's amazing about that crowd though is that there are still those
that are writing new software for it (games mostly) and most it's not half
bad!
