When you describe a BBS to young kids today, do you feel like you're telling myths and stories from the golden age of online?

Thanks for your reply. I ask because recently I was telling a story to someone and the whole BBS era came up. They were amazed when I talked about how one of the great ones in Austin had 50 phone lines, and I knew the SYSOP so I got to see his wall of 50 modems at his apartment. I remember it as this amazing time where we were just exploring the very first things that would later morph into the apps/games/services that we know now. The first time I went to a meet up of fellow BBS users at a pizza joint and finally met the faces behind the electronic names was magical. And I still don't think I've ever had as much fun, terror, and thrilling victory with a MMORPG as I have playing Tradewars. But you're right - modern day kids would hate and be lost trying to use ANSI graphics and command lines.

Do you believe that we will ever be able to regenerate lost/damaged organs or limbs? If so, would it be done organically in the body, or externally in a lab?

I heard that the cast members staying in the Disney dorms made it a thing to use these Epcot Center beer coasters as a challenge item when it came to sexual conquests of the international cast members. The coasters had a pic or list of all the countries, and one would X out the country for the guy/gal they shagged. It was a big deal to get all of the countries, especially Morocco which was reportedly pretty difficult. Any truth to this and how many coasters have you filled up?
