If this be the same Kilgore Trout I'd seen around my local BBS's years ago,
Peace.

Well, BBS's were all we "civilians" had easy access to!   I started out with 
a 300 bps internal modem card.  By the time I could see the BBS's pretty 
much all closed down, I'd found my phone lines in this area were limited to 
26,400 bps.  Then the internet opened to public consumption :)  A few years 
later, cable finally came to my town.
But yeah, I've been at it a good while.  My grandkids think I'm *really* old 
:)

Heh, I got into the bbs scene starting at 1400 baud. 8-)  Barren's Realm was 
my favorite game by far. I guess I'm getting old too! 

I started at 300 baud. You could read the text as fast as it
downloaded. On a good day, you could tweak all the way up to 305.

Oh wait. I just lied.

My first connection was on a big noisy teletype machine.
Pick up phone.
Dial number.
Listen for carrier tone.
Place handset into the cradle on the machine.

We even had porn, but all in ascii. Print it off. Hang on the wall.
Step back several paces to see it.

Turn the machine off when not in use. Otherwise noise from the vacuum
cleaner would run all of your paper onto the floor, while typing
random characters.

It was a big improvement over smoke signals. Damned blankets catch
fire if you don't keep them wet ;-)

"aging is inevitable, getting OLD is an option!"

I kinda miss the 'message bases' some of the local BBS's had.  Ya made 
friends, went out an met em shopping at the local computer type shops and at 
the malls, had bbq's and picnic get togethers.  These days, a friend you 
make might be in England, Oz, Kiwiland, Kenya, Russia, ANYwhere.   get 
togethers aren't as frequent :-]
