and Randy Suess, who used a snowstorm as an inspiration to change the
world.
July 16. Second in a four-part series. "Sysops and Users" introduces
the stories of the people who used BBSes, and lets them tell their own
stories of living in this new world.
July 23. Third in a four-part series. "Fidonet" covers the largest
volunteer-run computer network in history, and the people who made it
a joy and a political nightmare.
July 30. Fourth in a four-part series. "Artscene" tells the
rarely-heard history of the ANSI Art Scene that thrived in the BBS
world, where art was currency and battles waged over nothing more than
pure talent.
