Also you 'd see fliers at bus stops for the larger multi-line boards .
The smaller Telegard/Renegade/WWIV board systems were usually word of mouth.Once you got onto a decent sized board , there was usually a bulletin board devoted to local BBS scene ads where people used some flashy ANSI or nice ASCII art ( if ANSI was n't supported ) to advertise their boards .
A lot of boards had a log-out screen which advertised local area bulletin boards and people would give out sub-sysop-level preferred access to other board operators who would advertise for them.File transfer was usually either done via some paid service , a local library system , somebody you knew in the area with university network access , CDs you bought from ads in magazines or BBS compilations , BBS meetup parties or by offering preferred accounts on your board to people who would courier from boards outside your network.In short , everything worked , but it was slower and harder to find exactly what you wanted without having to pay for access to tons of different systems plus foot the bill for the long-distance dialups.Most often , for me at least , I got all my geeky information from logging into about 8-10 BBSes in the area two or three times a week and a long distance board that was chock full of good stuff about once a month .</tokentext>

No idea.
Hit the wiki page for Rush and suddenly I've got all the info hyperlinked.
Rand is an objectivist blowhard, Red Barchetta was based on a scifi novel, Neal Peart took a road trip with the original author years after the song was written, did you know that a barchetta is a type of Italian sports auto?
And when you go searching for Rush online you'll discover some band doing a cover of one of their songs.
Wow, who knew?
And suddenly that's the entry point for discovering more music to enjoy.
Doing a web search on the Cthulhu Mythos led me to both Therion and the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.
And here I thought the only Lovecraftian music out there was either atonal flutes piping away or Erich Zahn.I love how it becomes easy to find how things are so interconnected.
World history always did us a disservice because each region of the world was discussed as if it were kept in complete isolation from all the rest.
This is the Middle East.
This is Europe.
Here's Africa.
Here's the story of this culture.
But while you're tackling each separately, you never have any appreciation for how everything is running concurrently, the flow of culture and ideas.

	<htmltext>I had my cable Internet disconnected for about three years after being online ever since the first ISP arrived in my city in the 90's.  Keep in mind that I am a PC gamer, amateur coder, and during this time worked as an enterprise deployment specialist and a senior support engineer.  Although I did have Internet at work my use of it there was quite restricted.  While others spent their spare time surfing, I was always wondering how the lazier folks had spare time.  My coworkers would always be in shock when I told them I didn't have Internet.  I disconnected it due to financial issues, general boredom and lack of interest in what seemed to just be a huge increase in ads and spam.  Early this year I had my Internet service restored and I also bought a blackberry, so I am probably back online again for good this time.
One of the first hardships I endured was with gaming and there were many choices I was left out of because of game companies either catering exclusively to those with Internet, or crippling features to discriminate against anyone who isn't online.  There were a wealth of games to play though so it ended up a minor inconvenience.  I found it more difficult to do paper billing again, and using the phone book and paper dictionary.  It really made researching anything more difficult, but the times where I would regret not having Internet are truly numbered.  I like having the convenience because it is a minor to moderate hassle at times not having access.  The most confusing thing to me is that I think I totally missed out on that whole social networking thing and I don't really understand it.  I've heard people talk about it, but basically it makes no sense to me, but maybe that is because it is just stupid.  Sometimes I think to myself, I just missed out on three years of adware and people infecting each other with stupidity.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>True, life was just fine before the Internet.  Now, though, the Internet has infiltrated almost every aspect of our daily lives.  Given that, if the Internet were to be shut off permanently, we would have to do without a lot of conveniences we've become accustomed to, which would make it a lot more painful than life before the Internet was.  To throw in the requisite car analogy, life without cars probably wasn't all that horrible (at least, not due to the lack of cars specifically).  However, now that cars are a major part of the fabric of our everyday lives, it would be substantially more painful to give them up completely now.
<br> <br>
Add to all this the fact that a large percentage of us would have to find something else to do for a living, and many of us would have to emerge from the basements we've been in since 1987, and you have a real problem.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I know a lot of credit card checks go over modem and not the Internet, but I do remember being a cashier in the 70s and having to not only swipe credit cards through an impression machine, but also check it against a "hot list" to see if it was valid -- which was a printed booklet.   No idea how often that thing was updated. Amazing.</htmltext>
