About the Show1. SysOp - The system operator of a Bulletin Board Systema. First BBS (CBBS) software created by Ward Christensen and Randy Suess in 1978 as a way to stay connected with their computer club during a brutal winterb. BBS’s were computer systems set up as servers which allowed others to connect over dial-in modems to exchange messages, chat, share files, and interact in other ways. These humble systems were often simple desktop computers sitting in someone’s homec. BBS’s tended to be very personal as users typically dialed into local numbers in their vicinity as to not incur long distance chargesd. The SysOp was the admin, owner, and facilitator of the BBS and would often communicate directly with users.2. Formata. Introb. Sponsors/Patronsc.
