It was a sad day when the BBS I used the most, Paranoimia finally closed down
due to lack of use.  I still dialled into BBS's until 1999 or so, but there
were only a few around in the late 90s.  Wasn't the same after Paranoimia left.
 That was kind of the end of the BBS era for me.

A new era is upon us.
