subject: What Google might have been in the dial-up BBS era

G'day Lee,

SA>An emulation of what might have been if Google had come along in the
SA>dial-up BBS era - a typical BBS front end to google search:

SA>http://www.masswerk.at/googleBBS/

 LL> Kewl!

SA>The results come back much like file listings.

 LL> Not only kewl, but superkewl!

SA>Also has links for Google images and Bing.

 LL> And in *color*!  Or is that *technicolor*?
 LL> Oh how I long for those DOS games of BBS lore,
 LL> such as LORD.  :)

It would still require a FOSSIL driver in some form, but someone with the
coding skills might be able to do it. A bit too hard for me though :)

Cheers, Steve..
