I Heart BBSes

Reason.com has a nice article up remembering the humble BBS. I can remember spending many and hour in high school (before we got a real ISP) dialing into BBS to chat, download files, play games -- all of the things we do on the internet today, but at 2400 baud. And who can forget the beauty of ANSI art or calling your friend so his call waiting would kick his modem offline and you could sign on?
