        I don't really remember being in chat rooms, but I did do the whole Prodigy thing in 91-92. It was mainly just posting and emailing, though.

            I also loved when it was a multi-node BBS and you could see what files the people on the other nodes were downloading. I had some real dirt of a couple guys at school.

              I remember getting on BBS' with 300 baud, then upgrading to a 1200 asap, lol. I still have the box the 1200 baud modem came in ($199.95 sticker still on it).

              My XT computer still has Telix on it, with BBS phone numbers, hehe.

                The real question is: Who remembers using their eight-pound 300 baud modem (which made the most HORRENDOUS noises and had no volume control unless you sent coded commands straight to the modem hardware) to dial directly into another person's 300 baud modem to read BBS chat boards that took about three minutes per page to load? I do!

                  I first dialled into a BBS in in 1984 (I think?) with a 300bps accoustic coupled modem and a teleprinter. It was so slow and the content limited that it didn't matter that everything was printed out.

                  I ran a BBS or two in various forms from about 1988 to 1995 and I was part of fidonet.
