The Searchroom BBS
==================

"The Searchroom BBS was a board dedicated to scientific curiosa
(unusual patents, etc) that existed from 1996 - 1997. The sysop
was a former patent examiner. It featured .gif images of unusual
patents not found elsewhere, including books on unusual patents.
Examples included: the patent for the comb-over, the "greenhouse
helmet", and a patent for a telephone switching device that the
Patent Office accidentally printed a picture of a donkey's rear
end on the front page. Also included were historical patents:
Harry Houdini's patent (a diving suit that one could quickly
divest), Abraham Lincon's patent (method of buoying ships), to
name a few. Since The Searchroom BBS didn't go online until after
the end of the BBS era, there weren't too many callers, but we did
get a caller from Germany, and another from Australia. The board
was free. No download restrictions or nosy questions when you
registered. It was not part of any network." - Aaron Banerjee
