Well, by now the scene, at least over her, has stabilized. Only a few
dozend survived nationwide, but with stable numbers of users. It seams
like as all people who would use eiter the Internet OR a BBS have switched
by now. And it's not just abut oldtimers still using BBSes. At least here
around Munich new users are coming in (at a low rate of course). Mostly
curious about either Technology in general, or slassic Hardware!
