My local BBS is where I got my first taste of the internet... then I found the
awesome TCP/IP and GRAPHICS... lol... I remember the days of checking email
from a Unix prompt. I also remember thinking, screw this internet stuff - its
so hard... lol... 

Also, a lot of those boards actually turned into the ISPs. Hell, TBBS software
kinda changed over and started selling their multi-line BBSes ISP hardware and
support. Sure wish I'd of jumped in on that, there were several millionairre
stories straight out of the TBBS-->ISP journey.
