I think I read about this for the first time on a dialup BBS in the 90s :)

I tried to read about it on that BBS, but it was more than 80 miles from my house and I couldn't afford the long distance phone charges.

  • You obviously didn’t have a Novation Apple Cat modem that could wardial random 5 digit calling card codes for 3rd party long distance carriers.

    I really hope there are a few other people here who know what that sentence means or I’m officially ancient :(

  • I almost feel younger people will not understand what you are referencing :) I was SysOp of FidoNet node.
