   This is the anniversary of the very first BBS system, CBBS officially went
online today in 1978. It was the first public dial-up BBS developed by Ward
Christensen and Randy Suess. It started as something to do during the blizzrd
of 1978 when Christensen had a spare S100 bus computer and early Hayes modem.
It was designed to work like a cork board at a local computer club and kept
a count of callers. It connected 253,301 calls before it was retired.

Your reading this on the modern version of that same system with a lot more
bells and whistles and Internet connection now, but still a BBS.
