| | BBS history |
 | | In 1979 most individuals who own computers and modems -- or have access to and knowledge of computing hardware -- are computer hobbyists and scientists. | | | So at first, most topics on CBBS hover within the realm of computers and electronic communication, but eventually the talk broadens. | | | Since the ARPAnet is still restricted to defense-funded institutions, CBBS is the first civilian experiment in creating virtual community (apart from time-sharing systems). |

| | CBBS |
| | The CBBS concept seems to be a spin-off of the commercial computer mail schemes, but it is much different in implementation. | | | This is over a year after their introduction of CBBS, but (as you read near the end), before the development of the x-modem file transfer protocol. | | | We also are considering a function that would allow swapping complete programs. |

| | CBBS was the brainchild of Ward Christensen and Randy Suess, two members of CACHE, the Chicago Area Computer Hobbyists' Exchange. | | | Suess and Christensen built the CBBS hardware and software package—at home, from scratch—in two weeks, not the four they originally claimed. | | | On Feb. 16, 1978, the Computerized Bulletin Board System was born, making it possible for the 300-baud-modem-powered computers of the day to post messages and exchange software online, laying the groundwork for all the flame wars and freeware flings that have defined the computerized decades ever since. |

| | The Real CBBS ------------- CBBS is the daddy of all bulletin board programs for micro- computers and as such has been imitated to some extent by all other public-domain and commercial BBS software. | | | The programs to do this are well worked out and in the public domain (for example, SECURITY.ASM and TAG2.ASM), but most MINICBBS sysops still find it necessary to keep the program and its messages in a very high user area and to move everything back down whenever they want to do some purging and editing. | | | You will receive a copy of the CBBS source program and files on 2 CP/M format soft sectored 8" floppy disks. |

| | The Birth of the BBS |
| | XMODEM was born of the necessity of transferring files mostly between Randy and myself, at some means faster than mailing cassettes (if we'd lived less than the 30 miles apart we did, XMODEM might not have been born). | | | By the time the drive spun up, the software had answered the phone and booted CPM and CBBS from the floppy. | | | Ward wrote a wrapper around CP/M-CBBS, and CBBS has been running that way for over 15 years. |

| | CBBS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | CBBS (Computerized Bulletin Board System) was a computer software program created by Ward Christensen to allow him and other computer hobbyists to exchange information between one another. | | | Because the Internet was still small and not available to most computer users, users had to dial CBBS directly using a modem. | | | Despite these limitations, the system was seen as very useful, and ran for many years and inspired the creation of many other bulletin board systems. |
