Hey everyone,

I came online in 1997 and was part of the AOL generation. I never heard about
BBSes until I was older and of course, BBSes were not popular by that time.  
Before 1997 I do remember my older brother owning an Altair... something. I  
want to say a Altair ST.. something. It was gray and had system buttons cut
at an angle above the keyboard.. I never used it much and I don't remember my
brother using it all that much either. I believe he only played a submarine
game or something.

I have been watching the BBS Documentary series that was put out in 2005 and
it made me want to use a BBS. It feels like I'm getting in touch with my
culture in the same way a youngster today might study history and learn
traditional music/food/dance of yesteryear's to better understand and
appreciate the culture.

Anyway...

Quick question for you guys/gals, I'm looking for BBS user
documentation/tutorials made for day to day BBS users not BBS sysops. I am
looking through textfiles.com at the moment. Textfiles.com has a section on
BBS that looks promising. Is there any other resources I might look at to
learn how to be an efficient BBS user?

Thanks,
-Zoo
