The easy access and convenience of the modern web is an essential part of our daily routines, but sometimes you just need the warm glow of a CRT coupled with the screech and cry of a dial-up modem.

Inspired by a video from Squirrel-Monkey.com, Google BBS is an actual working front-end to Google's search engine, rendered in the style of a 1980s bulletin board — complete with an ASCII art splash page. The API Landsteiner is taking advantage of does seem to tip over its allotted threshold from time to time, so if you can't execute a search right away, take a look at the original inspiration below.
