Today's Webtip: Google BBS

A functioning taste of what might have been.

Late night surfing is most often a bad idea. Strange concepts wind in their way into my synapses, frequently causing me to go off on hunting expeditions that just shouldn't have happened. Like the one kicked off by a desire to find BBS software for my Mac.

Now, in the cold wet light of day, it is pretty hard to imagine why I thought the idea of running an old-school BBS would be a good idea. But that doesn't mean my late night wanderings were useless. They did lead me to a lovely bit of internet absurdity.

Google as it might have looked as an 80's BBS. It even sounds authentic. And yes, it works.
