It's late at night… or is it morning already?
You are 15-year-old child of the 80s, Jack Oblivion. You flip the tape over in your cassette player and press the "play" button. You slide the floppy storing your CCGMS Terminal program into your C= 1541 drive, twist the door closed and boot up your terminal. On the agenda tonight... dialing into some new BBSs you heard about. The night is late... or is it morning already? You couldn't sleep as usual... but the late nights are your time to explore the world through a tiny twisted pair of copper wires. You sit in the glow of your Commodore 1702 monitor, which is washing light over you and your C=64.
Your 300 baud modem dials, rings, and then you hear the negotiation tones... Finally silence... your CCGMS Terminal program produces a message line by line... "Welcome to Lunar Travel Agency BBS... services for all your Lunar travel needs. Running the latest version of eSoft's TBBS...". Some cool ANSI graphics , a new line and LOGON:
