"BBS: The Documentary" is an 8 episode series about all aspects of the history of the dial-up Bulletin Board System, or BBS. 3 years in the making and the result of over 200 interviews, this collection puts in one convenient package a sense of the variety and wide-reaching effects of the BBS phenomenon. All in all, over seven and a half hours of material is included across the three region-free DVDs.
Among the features of this documentary:
The price is $40 plus shipping and handling. AS OF NOVEMBER 2008, ALL PRODUCTS ARE STILL IN STOCK. BOOK SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED.
North American residents and international residents with accounts should generally order from Paypal. International and Paypal-hating customers should generally use Kagi. (Kagi is an Internet Store that allows direct use of credit cards, checks, and money orders to buy the DVD set.) Do not hesitate to write to sales@bbsdocumentary.com
with questions about payment or payment options.
I've combined a couple variations of the products on this page, with savings for buying the combination.
The book has been autographed by the author. 163 pages, with many photographs from Flack's
life and of BBS events and artifacts. The price is $20, which includes shipping. If you
buy a copy of the BBS Documentary at the same time, the price drops to $10.

book for free.
In 2003, RaD Man compiled these gigabytes of artwork, music and other programs into a DVD-ROM called DARK DOMAIN
(the name is strange, granted) which he then has sold, basically for the cost of printing. It's a basic DVD-ROM,
with 4 gigabytes of ANSI and related artwork, and packaged in a simple case with some nice art on the cover.
If you want to look at the contents of this DVD-ROM, the entire contents are available at CD.TEXTFILES.COM,
in this location. The cost is for the packaging and the convenience,
not the material inside.
RaD Man has sent me a box of these DVD-ROMs and I am making them available both separately and as a "value pack"
with the BBS Documentary. The price is $15 alone or $10 with a BBS Documentary DVD Set.
Since this documentary is licensed Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike, people are free
to make copies of the DVDs, but in doing so, they lose a couple good features. Among these
features are the convenience of having 18 gigabytes of data in their hands in a
professionally printed set of DVDs, and of course the packaging. This is not just a plastic
slipcover and a disk stuck inside; if you check the pictures, you can see the quality that
went into them.
Since throwing these out would be a waste, I figure we can make all sides happy and I can
put these things up for sale. I'm selling them for $10, which is a fair price considering
there's no DVDs inside. I have to make that clear: THERE ARE NO DVDS INSIDE THESE. THIS
IS JUST THE PACKAGING. You should purchase above if you want the full, proper package.
