当你清楚地知道有一位天才儿童踏上“泯然众人”的路却无能为力,那种感觉叫作心动还是心痛? 1996年也许可以称得上是中国平民 Internet 黎明前的黑暗,居高不下的费用使得少有人能尝鲜。其实在这之前就已经有另外的一群人利用本地电话线和简单的设备架起了另一种至今也少有人知的小范围 Internet——FidoNet BBS。尽管受条件所限不能与国外交流,但通过 FidoNet BBS 上的交流、论战、大浪淘沙许多人都成为今日 IT 产业的参与者和见证人。时至今日,FidoNet 所倡导的“专业的业余精神”还在不断培养出新的 IT 中坚。“专业的业余精神”是一个听起来很矛盾的词。
When you clearly know that there is nothing a talented child can do when he embarks on the road to “get out of the blues,” is that feeling called heartbeat or heartache? Maybe 1996 may be regarded as the darkness before the dawn of the Chinese civilian Internet. The cost makes few people can try it. In fact, there was already another group of people using local telephone lines and simple equipment to erect another type of small-scale Internet, FidoNet BBS. Despite being restricted by conditions, they cannot communicate with foreign countries. However, many people through the FidoNet BBS exchanges, debates, and waves have become participants and witnesses of today’s IT industry. Today, the “professional amateur spirit” advocated by FidoNet continues to train new IT backbones. “Professional amateurism” is a sounding contradictory word.
