Just gave in to the geeky side of the force this morning and bought a DVD documentary about BBS's. (the version I bought comes with a DVD full with BBS text files, ANSI art, and random crap.)

After buying, this is the screen I got:

I don't think I ever got a chuckle out of what happened right *after* I forked over cash. Here's to you, Bob!

  2. Excuse me, but what is the name of plugin that provides a toolbar on the top of tabbar?

  3. @VeGeek: the one right above my tabbar is firebug. The one above that is a toolbar of delicious bookmarks.

  7. The toolbar just above the tabs is actually from the “Web Developer” add-on.

  8. Hehe. And I spend most of my time trying to save browser real-estate, hiding every possible chrome Firefox lets me.

  10. You should also think about giving the author a little more. He’s working on raising funds so he can have a sabbatical and finish up a ton more projects related to computer history: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1019371045/the-jason-scott-sabbatical

  14. You should send copies to Ward Christenson and Randy Seuss, since they hold the CBBS trademark. Back when I ran sixhub, which may have been the first unix based BBS, I learned a lot for those guys.
