Logging In Locally: The BBS Revolution
Let's dial back the clock. It's the late 1980s or maybe the early 1990s. The personal computer is starting to assert itself, but the 'online world' as we know it doesn't exist yet. Forget slick web browsers; think blinking cursors and text-based interfaces. You sit down at your PC, maybe an early IBM compatible common in offices or universities here in India, or perhaps a beloved Commodore 64 or Apple II at home.
