I agree, Anna. I thought that it was going to be a bit different, BUT its a 
great video to share with people to get them INTO BBSing. I'm going to use it 
as a resource to show others what BBSes 'are' and a start on how to get on 
them. I do wish that he would have had a little more info about the terminal 
softwares needed to access boards; some people will have a hard time compiling 
Syncterm - and Netrunner is much easier IMO...

Heck tho, I've never installed Syncterm in Windows - maybe thats much easier. 

Anyway, the Back to BBS documentary was awesome - AND I love that Quantum 
Wormhole and Bottomless Abyss were so prominent. Mine, simply because of its 
name that starts with "20", was in the telnet BBS list onscreen... cool. :P
