    Most kids I speak to know nothing of usenet. Would doubt they’d know BBS. I always thought BBS was parallel,not before? I mean I had friends who posted in the early 80s on usenet.

      I meant far as in deep. UseNet was for academics because it wea hosted on ARPANET and linked via mainframes and omnicompetent.

      BBS were hosted by Joe Geek in his basement and might have been connected worldwide via Fidonet. The masses had access to BBS.
