Way back in the 1980s, before the internet was a "thing", Darren and Robin dreamed of connecting their Commodore 64s to other computers. Could we change our grades on the school computers? Could we play games against super intelligent military computers? And then we actually got our first modems! From our first online moments with 300 and 1200 baud modems to running a BBS on Darren's Amiga 500, from writing our own little terminal programs to aspiring to code online games, from chatting with the sysop to city-wide games of Steve Jackson's Killer, those early online years on the Bulletin Board Systems were full of excitement. Those days waned as "The Internet" became accessible in the early '90s at their university, but Robin and Darren still manage to fill nearly 2 hours with '80s BBS memories.
