The BBS (bulletin board system) scene of the 80s and 90s
was a magical time. Long before the Internet escaped from
the lab, connected the planet and redefined what it meant
to use a computer there was a brave and pioneering band
of computer users who spent their time, money and sanity
setting up their home computers and phone lines to
welcome anyone who called.
In the Summer of 2001, Jason Scott, a computer historian
(owner textfiles.com) wondered if anyone had made a film
about these BBSes. They hadn't, so he decided he would.
Four years, thousands of miles of travelling, and over
200 interviews later, "BBS: The Documentary", a mini-
series of 8 episodes about the history of the BBS, was
made available in 2005. Spanning 3 DVDs and totalling
five and a half hours, this documentary is actually eight
documentaries about different aspects of this important
story in the annals of computer history.
