[Days Before The Internet]

The Coming of Diamond Cable to Snottingham was a revolution for data transfer.

News spread through the BBS communities. of the coming of the internet. (Innotts.co.uk)

The new company had a massive 15 lines. We had been spoiled with having 2 nodes on Viper BBS.

Sadly this 15 line monster killed the local BBS's.

The calls to both BBS's and the Internet fed on Diamond Cable lines was free after 6, and at weekends, in those days. :D

This used to be behind TB opposite the Metalwork room rear entrance.

The caretaker their used to allow boys in at dinner time when the club was closed.

We used to go in to play snooker.

Middle row second pupil from right, ------ Stevens?

Many of these had elder and younger siblings at TB.

I think Rob Clark had an older brother?
