For those who remember the 80's and the explosion of technologies, this one will sure bring you tears -- laughing or crying. It's an ingenious and hilarious take of the BBS days with today's eyes. ASCII arts, DOS batch commands, Windows 1.0, Tandy computers, brick phones, or how about "tapecasts?!" Need I say more?! Kudos to these guys at Engadget!
