our local bbs here was majorbbs too. first synchronet bbs i called was in california (i'm in michigan..) and it cost me a pretty penny in long distance. i don't remember what it was called but i think it was filled with teenagers (which i was at the time) .. possibly run by a local high school or something?

second one the moment my account was created the sysop dropped me into chat
and we talked a while. i think he was quite old. don't think i saw any others except the o-zone which was a bit later and telnet-only. until sync3 came along it seemed pretty obscure.

.... How do I set my laser printer to stun?
