CLASSIFIED ON LINE ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD

The July 25 issue of TIME Magazine devoted its cover story to a new medium that is currently being used by over 25 million people and is growing by 2 million new subscribers every single month.

This new medium is at the core of what are called Electronic Bulleting Boards - a system by which people with computers can get entertainment programs, make travel reservations, play games, get stock market reports, watch the news, and even buy & sell products - using a computer.

All computers that has a modem can access any Bulletin Board by simply plugging an ordinary telephone line to the computer. Take note of the following:

With a regular telephone line, people can (using a standard telephone) send and receive spoken words and sounds.
With a regular telephone line, people can (using a fax machine) send and receive copies of printed images, whether text, photos, or or designs.

TYPES OF BULLETIN BOARDS

There are bulletin boards for nearly every conceivable subject matter. There are bulletin boards for pet owners, bulletin boards for school teachers, for doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs and many other fields of interest. Of course, the most popular type of commercial bulletin boards are those that accept advertising where people from all over the country buy & sell a variety of products and services.
