I ran a BBS for a minute in the 90s. It was called M.O.B.I.U.S. "Michigan Online Business Information User Service". Guess which came first, the name or the acronym 😁.

The plan was to charge local business for access to, I dunno, "business information" I guess?

Really, it was just an excuse to play with a BBS and make a fun label.

Speaking of logos, how about my unfortunately-named software company? 😬
