   Been around since last Thursday... which is like, a whole bunch of   
   irrelevant shit nobody cares about.   
      
      
      
   What Is It?   
      
   ===========   
      
      
      
   It's a BBS running OddBBS on a Magnavox Odyssey2 with message bases   
   dedicated to old computer goodness. Everything runs off of a   
   cartridge containing NVRAM built in 1980, making it the world's first   
   consumer application of SSD technology!   
      
      
      
   Also:   
      
      
      
   [+] Over 9000 files for the Interton VC4000, Radofin Tele-Sports,   
   Elektronike IM-series, Mera Elzab Meritum, and Mattel Football handheld   
      
   [+] Constantly expanding waistlines of its users   
      
   [+] Large (100s of porn images) of Fairchild Channel F files   
      
   [+] 1000s of NTSC Oric Atmos files with more being converted all the   
   time.   
      
   [+] Over 120 file areas so far, still adding more (content to come   
   later)   
      
   [+] 80+ online games (COD 4, Portal 3, tons more)   
      
   [+] Lots of message bases with posts from some very socially-inept   
   people.   
      
      
      
   New! Future Usenet feed - read Usenet as if it was 2083. Serving up 20   
   message bases, none of which exist on Usenet - yet.   
      
   Requests gleefully ignored.   
      
      
      
   New! Usenet feed. 100% 0-day 1337 Aquarius H/P/A/V/C w4r3z from   
   alt.binaries.mattel.aquarius.hack.the.gibson.   
      
      
      
      
      
   Runs EBCDIC in 17 columns, so connect with whatever you think will   
   put up with our shit.   
      
      
      
   Speaking of connecting, connect from the website at   
   http://www.genitals.org if you don't have a terminal.   
      
      
      
      
      
   Useless Hardware Info:   
      
   ======================   
      
      
      
   Running on a Magnavox Odyssey2 w/8TB of cartridge port NVRAM (and the   
   Intel 8048 is enough for anyone)   
      
   Ports open at around 110bps for maximum retro value. Ever seen an 8-bit   
   transfer at 38.4K? Yeah, not this one, buddy.   
      
   This is done with the magic of a scratchy landline that routes all of   
   its calls through Benin.   
      
   Better screen-scrape that shit once you find it and want to keep it,   
   because fuck xmodem and the like.   
      
   4GB CMD SCSI drive running off a Compact Flash card using a SCSI to CF   
   adapter? Aw, hell no. Cartridge port NVRAM, beeyotches!
