I know alot of people who got married after meeting on a BBS. Anybody reading this been married as a result of using MySpace or Facebook?

BBS's are still around, but you can't reach them with a web browser, you have to Telnet to them (they're old skool lol) and the graphics are old skool too - well you have to see them to believe them!

Do this: type telnet://centre.segfault.net into your web browser, and it will run the Telnet program and goto that BBS.
(I don't own the BBS, it's just an easy one to remember).
When you get there, you can't use your mouse to point & click (its old skool remember).
Just use your keyboard to hit letters of commands and... stuff.


Anyway I'm done ranting!! Everyone have a great weekend :)]]>Nov 13th 2008 8:09PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/11/13/facebook-101-25-tips-and-tricks-5/http://www.switched.com/2008/11/13/facebook-101-25-tips-and-tricks-5/Help please!
