Nothing like logging onto a BBS on the original hardware!
This is my IBM XT (5160) in action, logging into Heatwave BBS. I was a BBS fiend in the mid 90's, so this really brings back a ton of memories.

I got into that myself in 1987. Just about all ASCII text there with very few sounds in general!
There's a BBS documentary on YouTube that's supposed to be pretty good. I've only just seen part 1. Should see more, now that I've been reminded of it

I'd love to see that myself. If you find the link, please share it here.

Thank you so much for that! Wow, there's a ton of them. I'm going to watch while I wrap some Christmas presents lol.
Re: Nothing like logging onto a BBS on the original hardware!
I need to watch more myself. Someone posted about it years ago and I only watched part 1. But then at times I'd forgotten about it.
And you're welcome! It was pretty well done.
