My neighbor ran a large Apple II parate board. He had 8 floppy disks and 6 phone lines. 2 of the floppy drives ran the BBS software, the other 6 he loaded disks into for download (with a calendar for which days which software would be loaded on the site.) This was back in the day when you had to rip out the phone line and splice your own. Bell wouldn't sell you a phone line without one of their phones attached to it (we had a coupler for our modem.)
We must've had over 100 warez for our Apple II. Hehe. Those were the days. Watching for hours as it made a block copy.
We later got a Macintosh IIvx and a 2400 baud modem. I got in trouble on more than one occasion because all the good BBSes were in New York.
Spent hours and hours on our local BBSes, though. Most I encountered were Amiga CNET BBS software. After we got real internet access, I could finally telnet into the various BBSes. That was fun. Then most people moved to Hotline and First Class.
I really miss it. Our local BBS would have meet ups.
