It was 1992 and I was running a BBS with my husband at the time. It was one phone line hooked up to our computer, and only one person could be on at a time. We had a message board, some DOS type games and a few other symbols made pictures. The coolest thing was when we upgraded from 9600 baud modem to a 14.4 modem. Yes, the speed was like chiseling Webster’s dictionary out of granite, it was slow, and so loud just to load a BBS, and forget about downloading any material, that alone could take 30 minutes if it was a good program.
When the “world wide web” showed up, we were all astounded. “How many computers does that take to run it?” Then, we fell in love, until the patience died, and we had to use dial up. Do you know how long it takes to dial up some of these websites? There had to be a better way.
High Speed Internet was born, and honestly I never looked back. It is faster, MUCH quieter and with four computers in the house we needed something that didn’t tie up phone lines, or cost an arm and a leg. (I am a single mom of six kids, I need ALL the money I can keep in my shrinking bank account).
Money is a large factor when it comes to an internet carrier, and finding a company that appreciates the need for internet in the home is necessary.
*School studies
*Small business
*Correspondence
*Entertainment
*Daily news

Thats too neat! I remember computers before the WWW wow so long ago!
Back in the day, I was a BBS junkie. I ended up running 1 renegade BBS and 1 excalibur before the grab of the internet took hold.
It's refreshing to see the word BBS. It brings back a lot of good memories.
