EMERGENCY: UUNET may go mainstream!

Post by camelCasing » Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:51 pm

Oh my gosh guys, could you imagine what would happen if our beloved BBS's and such were given over to the public at large? There are plans to make it more accessible and even a Graphic User Interface (GUI) in the works (source leaks say the codename is World Wide Web or Mosaic).

I don't know about you guys, but I plan on posting to every BBS about this. We need to keep this from the public! Please re-post!

As long as I still get to roleplay on this World Wide Web, I'm all for it.

I don't know, I heard that something called Windows is picking up steam, but from what I've heard, it sounds like a rip off of Apple's stuff. I don't think it'll take off.

Apple is, of course, the way of the future. I haven't seen any IBM compatible that even comes close to the power and grace of the Apple II series. Soon they will have megabytes worth of storage and IBM's will be a thing of the past. Too bad for all those poor souls who bought them.

That gooey mosaic stuff aint gonna work. RIP graphics aren't exactly going anywhere, and neither will this. its just going to be a fad. ignore it, play your BRE turns, and it'll be gone before next yaer's comdex.
