Call it Back to the Future
Nice to see that big corperations are thinking about BBS's as the answer to there communications. Good Read. (Someone needs to add in a comment spam filter though)
"In the mid-80s, I was a BBS junkie. BBS is short for Bulletin Board System. It was a terminal program hosted on computers over analog phone lines. It was primitive, slow, and often frustrating, with plenty of dropped connections and busy signals. It was non-graphical, text-based. By the late 1980s, I had an internet email account, surfed gopherspace, participated in message boards, and read newsgroups, thanks to an ISP in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the early 1990s, all of this changed when CERN introduced the World Wide Web and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications released the first browser, Mosaic. I soon left the text-based BBS universe behind."
