Show Notes

Dan Kenny joins the show to discuss the Endless Forest, an Omaha area electronic bulletin board system (BBS) that began life on the Apple II in the 1980's. Dan, was responsible for creating the next incarnation of Endless Forest using the C programming language. This version ran initially on a DEC VAX 11/750 hosted at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, but it moved to other Unix/Linux machines during its existence.

The Endless Forest was one of the first BBS's that could be accessed via telnet.
