You and me both. I keep thinking about all of the messages that have gone 
since 1988, when I started running BBSes instead of calling them. I was a 
co-sysop for a BBS, and managed a handful of networked bases. Started my own 
BBS in 1991.

We were a bunch of naive kids, and we learned about life as we went, and 
documented our lives on the BBSes like a community journal.

We had a couple of people go through their first big romances on the BBS, 
and their first breakups. Callers dating callers. Callers breaking up with 
callers. First jobs. First firings. Many other firsts.

The text file writers went through a Hunter S. Thompson phase in the early 
'90s, I'd love to revisit those messages.

Back then, I had 3 32mb hard drives, then a 120, then a 320. Would have 
been great to be able to afford historical backups. As it is, I have one 
partial backup from 1994 and one from 1999.
