   I seem to have left the scene right as it was spinning up. Last night I   
   remembered that the was one board in the area that was a Fido node, so I   
   started looking up old nodelists. You can see this explosion of BBSes around   
   like 1991-1994, and then a they started all disappearing right around the time   
   the first ISP showed up.   
      
   Apparently I missed the heyday of having lots of boards to call.
