   You and me both. I keep thinking about all of the messages that have gone    
   since 1988, when I started running BBSes instead of calling them. I was a    
   co-sysop for a BBS, and managed a handful of networked bases. Started my own    
   BBS in 1991.   
      
   We were a bunch of naive kids, and we learned about life as we went, and    
   documented our lives on the BBSes like a community journal.   
      
   We had a couple of people go through their first big romances on the BBS,    
   and their first breakups. Callers dating callers. Callers breaking up with    
   callers. First jobs. First firings. Many other firsts.   
      
   The text file writers went through a Hunter S. Thompson phase in the early    
   '90s, I'd love to revisit those messages.   
      
   Back then, I had 3 32mb hard drives, then a 120, then a 320. Would have    
   been great to be able to afford historical backups. As it is, I have one    
   partial backup from 1994 and one from 1999.
