The original mini-series gained cult status very quickly. I was there, on the boards, talking about whether the baby would be a half-lizard or not. Kek. Good times.
>You were on the boards in '83?
Yup. Had my own BBS at the time. There were a few of them in town. Maybe a few hundred users in total. Tightly knit community. The golden age of shitposting, kek.
>In theory people have been shitposting in caves for millennia
Hmm. That's an astute observation. I think.
Usenet was around in '83 but I didn't use it. I preferred the intimacy of the local boards.
Checking Jim's site right now. Looks like he's been busy today.
The original mini-series was two episodes. Two full-length movies. Followed by three movies the next year. It was epic.
>It was a 300 baud modem.
I thought that was great. Perfect reading speed. The 1200-baud came out two years later. I kept having to pause so I could read, kek.
Ever try The Pirate's Bay? Don't remember what exactly they had there but it's interesting that the name dates back that far. I don't think it was related to the current site.
>I vaguely remember the first time the female alien commander ate a mouse
Yeah. The hero was watching her from an air vent. The only other time that they showed such a scene was when two alien soldiers were rummaging around a garbage bin looking for rats. Disgusting. You would think that an advanced species would have better culinary habits.
>Prometheus Pro Modem 1200
I think that is the one I bought. I still have an old 56k modem sitting on my desk with the DSL modem on top of it. Ready for when the Internet goes out. Is FidoNet still out there? Seems to me that we ought to be talking about that.
>Somehow I can still remember the number for Graveyard
You must have dialed it hundreds of times waiting for a free line, kek. I used to call bulletin boards all over the continent but that could get pretty expensive.
FidoNet still exists. That's longevity. Costs $3.49 per month. Hmm.
>Opus BBS
I just did a search. That appears to be software, not a system. FidoNet was a global system of local boards interconnected with some sort of bridge software.
My search also came up with this BBS listing from my area code but my own board predates the list. Kek. I recognize some of the names.

>make that old TI-99/4A computer "speak" with a speech synthesizer
Yep. Amazing what was being done with those little machines. That was when the term "engineering" actually meant something. Nowadays, they just throw craploads of CPU cycles at a problem.
Will his account get deleted? Hope this stuff starts spreading on Twatter like a bad rash.
Video page is 404.
How about if you just drop the joo crap and put the links into one post?
That would be great.
Tommy Sotomayor says "Ban Niggers".
You just apologized to a total jerk. Maybe it's a shill. Or maybe it is just ignorant.
Watch it rant at me.
How many public figures went into quarantine last year and came out just fine?
How many took the vax this year and died shortly after?
Simple solution to that. Keep your cash at home.
Kekkity. I will eat your ass.
