Acronym for BulletinBoardSystem. Originally started out as strips of paper in the Supermaket. Later when computers became more widespread at home, the BBS became the primary precursor to the ZModem protoctol (see also: Punter Protocol), Zed Zap etc (see FidoNet), a unified modern global email standard, and contributed countless R&D towards modern UseNet and the Internet? as we know it today.
