(1990s) Primitive networking: The BBS
When i was 16 , ruffly one year before i entered my University, my parents bough me a PC. It was a Intel Pentium 166Mhz. The search for the best computer had probably taken my time for the couple of months before. The OS by then was the brand new Windows 95 and it represented a huge leap from the old windows 3.1. Floppy disks were still present and CDs were making its debut into the software world.
My main uses for the PC were games. Lots of time was spent playing Quake and other games. The internet was still nowhere to be seen but networking and file sharing was starting with the BBS. My first modem was a ZOOM 28k and it allowed me to spend hours and hours downloading and uploading files to several bbs on my area. The networking part as fascinating and after some months i created my own BBS with content i had gathered. By then the preferred content were pictures, small movies and games.
New tecnologies always chalenged me and i remember to spend several weeks installing and configuring the BBS . That was the fun part for me. Making it happen.
