]]> Comment on The Boston Computer Society by Carter Jefferson http://hightechhistory.com/2010/02/12/the-boston-computer-society/#comment-214 Carter Jefferson Sat, 27 Feb 2010 15:56:33 +0000 http://hightechhistory.com/?p=524#comment-214 I can't remember when I joined the BCS, but I do remember being sad to see it go. Through the society, I learned about Usenet groups and lots of other things. Also can't remember when I first got a paid internet server connection, but it was somehow connected to BCS, and I stayed with whichever one it was through its becoming Mindspring and now Earthlink. The BCS was godsend for newbies like me. Now even the grandkids think I'm an expert, except for the one who uses an Apple. :-) I can’t remember when I joined the BCS, but I do remember being sad to see it go.
