Where's the dial-up bulletin board services (BBS) user badge? I wan't my super pre-internet geek badge. My first computer was a 286 running DOS, and I used to use my friend's dad's BBS account to download games/etc. Then came Prodigy, long before AOL came on the scene (never used that turd), then got my first cable modem in '95 or '96. I had been downloading MP3s for over a year by that point.

357 = Super Geek.

BTW, I'm only 31.
