Montana MediaNet
================

"In 1994 after Malfunction Junction BBS had been running for three
years I moved requiring a change of BBS phone number. At the time
I also changed the name of the BBS to Montana MediaNET with the
plan to make it a regional online information center. In addition
to all that Malfunction Junction offered, I added two more lines
for a total of six allowing online chatting which was a novelty
back then, and added hundreds of forums from several BBS networks
as well as daily network news feeds. Games and files were added
and the plan was really to make this THE Online destination in the
region. Unfortunately for BBSes as history notes, the Internet was
discovered around the same time. Montana MediaNET was one of the
first BBSes in the area to add Internet e-mail, but by 1996 the
Internet was too great of a force and callers diminished. Six
lines were no longer necessary so we went back to four, and then
eventually the BBS shut down by July of 1996. It was a great time
in history and I often lament the loss of the local BBS. The
internet is great but the local aspect of the BBS is what is lost
forever." - Chad Payne
