Southbury Falls Free-Net

Southbury Falls Free-Net Association, 2000–2005. Website or online service for the web.

Description

A free community network that gave residents of Southbury Falls email, local news and a public bulletin board from 2000 to 2005.

Provenance

Deposited by Fernport Springs Demoscene Archive, which had held it unread for years. The tape was sticky with binder breakdown and was baked at low temperature before a single careful read. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
