    so do people actually LIKE this 'back to the bbs' series?
    it just seems real boring to me. i try to watch them but i just skip through. ---

    I like them . . . but I have fond memories of my BBSing days in the 90's.

    BTW, this is my first - hopefully successful - public post on a BBS in probably 27 years? :-)

    I like it. But I also liked the original Jason Scott's BBS Documentary too.

    But for me, and I would expect many here, we grew up during the hey day of BBSs. Having a documentary that basically
    shows how BBSs survived and are even making a comeback is very interesting.

    It's also very nice to put a face to the name you see on the computer screen.

    I've actually been enjoying it. I feel he's doing a pretty good job. I've even learned a few things I didn't know before about our hobby's history and some of the old software.
