Remember telnet? BBS's? When 14.4 was considered blazing fast? I remember...

I vaguely remember an Eagle pilot message board prior to Eaglelounge. Anybody remember that?

Nope, the message board was the bar we all went to

My first modem was 300 baud. My next was 1200 and I thought it was tits. For those that don't know, dial up is 56k, 300 baud is .3k.

I remember seeing a 1200 baud modem in the store and saying to my friend, "only a business would need something that fast."

Yes, Dave English owned it. I believe he sold the URL to the company.

Yeah that's it. What was it called?

Not 100% but I think Eaglepilots.com, which is now owned by AA.

Yep, if you're talking about the AOL Airline pilots message board Eagle had its own board much like AOC today.
I remember one individual's handle being Herr Criner (reference to the then VP of flight ops).
His Avatar was an Eagle clutching a swastika. His posts were usually poking fun at his namesake and were spot on. The company went after him and told him to cease and desist.
Good old days they were.

Many of those were posted as were some of the Red Barron's cartoons.

Can anybody repost them?
