I'm not too young for that era (37) but I have never used a BBS. Didn't even know how to operate a computer before I got one in 1996...

I caught up pretty quickly though.

I am 10 years your junior and I had the privilege of playing on BBS (512) in 1994-1995. I was enthralled with my old Packard Bell. True, it was mostly a file dump board (what wasn't back then), but it was fun nonetheless.
