I've had a lot of subscriptions to computer mags over the years. PC Mag, Maximum PC, Computer Gaming World, Antic, the list goes on. I learned a lot from them. I'll never forget, in the 8-bit days, typing in a BASIC program from a printout in a magazine. That was how we did file sharing in the early 80s. 
In reply to Tom_Spangler (Forum Supporter) :
I remember how totally cool it felt to log into a Bulletin Board and download files and programs. We had a good one locally called Blue Ridge Express. Used it for a few years around 1993-1994 as the internet was taking off. My first machine was an AMD 386dx40 with 4 Megs of RAM and a 212 MB hard disk. And of course, a 14" VGA monitor.
I could find but one reference to BBS's on the entire web:
