Viewtron system run by Knight-Ridder newspapers and AT&T (1983)

UI screens from AT&T’s 1983 Viewtron system (1983), album by Philip Bump.

Printed log-in screens from Phantasmal Alchemy, an Atari BBS in the mid 1980s. Made in Atari’s own ascii-standard ATASCII. 

The BBS started rather humbly, but eventually grew to encompass a large assortment of 8-bit hardware, including two 20MB hard drives.  Which, for Atari 8-bit stuff was pretty much infinite storage back then. :) The BBS was quite popular in Southeastern Connecticut, and I met many people through the BBS that I am still friends with to this day.
