Blast from the past

Just noticed a search hit landing on my website for 'crossroads BBS'. Wow. I'm impressed. That was about 25 years ago. Somebody obviously remembered and came looking and passed by all the links for a Crossroads BBS from Melbourne in the '90s so they must've known what they were looking for.

Howdy. 

We did have a fun little online community back then, although it was just ASCII text at 300/1200 baud. Joe remembers...

Hey computer! Who called today?

Read my mail, from Joe, since yesterday.  

Oh, and make me some coffee, wouldja' please?

Sometimes I wonder if we've moved forward at all...

One of the BBS commands was 'game'.

Play the game.

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. Can you guess what it is?

3?

Sorry, that wasn't it. Click. [Disconnects the online session.]

Don't think I ever told anybody, but there wasn't a correct answer...
