Great share. I was there.

FidoNet, ANSI art, getting phone numbers on newsprint mags at local computer stores, the modem screeches, AT commands, phrack and cult of the dead cow…friends you’d meet at malls and then go to summer concerts with…online was an adjunct to life, not a closed garden overwrite of life itself.

I love this especially the sysops part

I was an original backer for this project. I still have it on DVD! His next one about text adventure games was very good as well.
