Well, I can say I was the "lucky guy" in the world of free BBS-ing in the circa-1990 times. My father worked at the phone company (the only one available in my country at that time) and every friday, just before leaving the work, he went to a certain rack, disconnected certain cable and... tada! Free phone at my home the whole weekend! Of course he reversed the process the next monday morning. He was never caught. I remember spending whole nights downloading stuff from BBSs while chatting with the sysops (bimodem rocks!). I was using a monster 1200 baud modem my father brought from work (which was already obsolete at that time and was going to be dumped) and I remember needing a whole hour just to download a 300K disk image for my MSX. So I had free BBSing without any fear or legal problems. U jelly? :-P

So... you will have THREE kids?? Write while you can. By february this blog will be dead. :-)
