  • What is a Bulletin Board?

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to August Abolins on Saturday, November 12, 2022 15:29:22
    What was a BBS of days gone yore? Originally, it was a place
    where one dialed-in to READ a "bulletin" or an announcement.
    Hence, the name - BBS.

    I guess many of the n00bs have not even seen any physical bulletin boards, having read from or posted to one. They know only of our virtual ones.
