DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Bulletin board system (BBS), also called a computer bulletin board service (CBBS),[1] is a computer server running software that allows users to connect to the system using a terminal program. Once logged in, the user performs functions such as uploading and downloading software and data, reading news and bulletins, and exchanging messages with other users through public message boards and sometimes via direct chatting. Many BBS servers offered online games, including early forms of MMOs.

This 3-letter name company’s full name was America Online, and the ubiquity of their promotional floppy discs and later CDs, became a cultural touchstone. Despite dominating the market in 2001, its business shrank with the decline of dial-up internet. By 2015 it would be bought by Verizon.
