hilarious, it was literally only a couple days ago I was digging into seeing what the current state of Bolo was. I miss Bolo so much, I want it on my xbox or on Steam or anything. if Target can sell a single-purpose Oregon Trail handheld, why can't we have Bolo?

and that's a great article, I remember it quite well. at the time it was written, I was working for Lotus/IBM in Cambridge (no not that one, the other one) and the company had offered us all experimental free ISDN so, yes, please - and, yeah, speed good latency bad. go fig.
