  • Friends?

    From MIKE POWELL@1:2320/195 to AARON C on Monday, January 26, 2026 08:49:00
    Anyone want to be BBS/Internet friends?
    I am interested in classic computers and technology, as well as
    classic rock and most other genres of music except for country & western. Also like to watch sci-fi and horror. Don't read as much as I used to but
    I should.

    Welcome. You can find all sorts of discussion on most of those things on
    the BBSes.

    Classic computers/tech = I am running this BBS on software that was last updated for Y2K (and in 1994 before that!).
    Music = like most of it except, oddly, some of what was popular when I was
    in high school.
    Sci-fi = Love the Twilight Zone, many H G Wells stories, M R James, what I have read so far of H P Lovecraft.
    Horror = Like the classics like the original Frankenstein, The Cabinet of
    Dr Kaligari, the original Nosferatu, but not the more recent blood-and-gore/slasher movies.

    It is difficult to beat. I also like The Outer Limits, One Step Beyond,
    and Tales of Tomorrow.

    If you feel adventureous, check out an old radio show called, "X Minus One". There's some good stories that were written by some of the most famous sci-fi authors of the time.
