That 8BBS dump is incredible. The fact that someone realized what they had and took the time to scan it. When I was reading it before I read your 2nd link I wondered what the cause of all the corruption was - perhaps poor quality coupler connection - but it was actually OCR failure from scanning printouts. If someone (not I) had the time to go through and fix them, that would be awesome.
The printouts were old 9-pin dot matrix, and somewhat faded in parts. The OCR I had access to does very poorly with that sort of type. There is an effort underway to transcribe all of the posts into an interactive web format. Someday!
Thank you! The hardest part is done - the finding and the scanning. It's great that Susy's first post is hidden in there. I searched for "blond" and there it was.
