Check out the US 99 menu above for links to information about US Highway 99, after which the US 99 BBS is named.
Be sure to click on the Amateur Radio menu item above for packet BBSes, packet software, packet organizations, as well as packet how-to's. Also included is links to local and some not-so-local Amateur Radio Clubs.
I went to a talk at the Computer History Museum last night titled
"Dialed In: The Prehistory of Social Media".

Of course, no mention of the fact that BBSes persevere to
this day. That wouldn't fit the narrative...

The lack of mention of how BBSes are represented today is sad.
I think people have heard enough of the history. But unlike
some things from the past that are has-beens and don't carry
on, BBSes have continued to exist and should be mentioned in
panels and talks about the technology!

bbses are not perservering. they are pathetic shadows of their
former selves. they are not worth mentioning.

One of the questions submitted to the panel (not by me, surprisingly)
was "what about the current BBS scene?". It didn't get asked.
