Some might be a legal grey area in our Orwellian dystopian Uptopia. Sorry about that. Not all pertain to the title. Obviously

Webster Tarpley. I liked the guy but he was a die hard Alexander Hamilton fan and a liberal. His research was good though.

This will upset Christians, but research is never a bad thing.

I'm a Christian and I find this pretty interesting

Yeah, it was a different time. The wild west of BBS and internet. A bit of a grey area today. Or maybe even worse than a grey area.

IDK?

You would go online by calling a BBS that supported a message network, usually Fidonet. I would download the latest messages, read them offline and then reconnect to send my replies.

Compuserve was the big commercial service back then.

yeah...several BBSs would link together and create larger networks but it basically an intranet...People ran their own BBS with modems and a few phone lines, T1 lines and there were distro sites that smaller BBS would grab the latest pirated software\games. EVERYTHING WAS OUT THERE.

most BBSs it was shareware boards with free games, freeware, ect

MSG boards

when the internet became accessible to universities Usenet\NNTP killed the warez\pirated software BBSs and all BBSs for that matter. It was a true way to freely communicate in a massive network. NNTP Newsgroups were revolutionary, really. To exchange ideas and ultimately software, ect Usenet was a free for all for everyone. This is before HTTP came along.

The color scheme may be historically authentic, but my eyes can't take it.
