They weren't the first BBS I ever went on, as I was on BBS' as a child
on my dads Apple IIe. He ran a BBS himself with a friend. The small
ones with random downloadable files. But Actual Reality was a virtual
cafe in my tween years. A local BBS to Austin, TX with a chatroom and
games. All of us in the chatroom met up weekly at the mall. There was
also a game on there called Mutants, which many of us were fucking
addicted to. It was a busy BBS. I remember weekends I would spend
upwards of an hour with it redialing over and over to a busy signal
before that magical connection sound came through my 2400 Baud modem.
Good times. I miss it very much.

Man do I miss the BBS days. But I sure don't miss the busy signal when
trying to get into a popular BBS... :)
