Remember to set your hard drive BBS priorities or you might find your SSD is dialing into the Farmer's Daughter BBS when you meant to be connecting to Software Creations BBS. pic.twitter.com/OQqx3Bl4oj

The “Farmer’s Daughter BBS” produces barely any Google results at all, and none relevant on the first page of results if you search without quotes, but this BBS was extremely popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was a porn-sharing BBS. I dialed into it a few times, mainly to get things for friends who knew I was computer-savvy (they paid me for it). I had not heard or thought of that name in nearly 30 years.
In the course of searching for that, I found this book that looks interesting: The Modem World: A Prehistory of Social Media by Kevin Driscoll.
