I listened to that last night. I thought it was fairly interesting,
particularly what he was saying about information about older technologies and
stories being lost on younger generations (but we do have lots of cool new
advances in technology today).
I also thought it was interesting that he brought up the point that trying to
search for BBS-related information on the internet brought up basically
nothing. It was indeed a little strange that not much information on BBSes was
available on the internet for a little while, since BBSing was only just
starting to fade at the time. These days it seems like it's a bit easier to
find information on BBSing and BBSes online, since there are sysops who have
set up new systems.
