I enjoyed reading those, wished he had gone into more detail. On the Usenet topic, does anyone remember dejanews? Searchable archive of all the posts to Usenet. Google bought them and then, so far as I know, the searchable part went away. If someone knows how to search back to the beginnings of Usenet, my early tech life is all there, I'd love to be able to show my kids that. Big arguing with Mash on comp.arch, following Guy Harris on comp.unix-wizards, etc. On Tue, Nov 19, 2019 at 09:01:39PM +0200, Arnold Robbins wrote: > The Early History of Usenet, Part I: The Technological Setting: > https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/blog/2019-11/2019-11-14a.html > > The Early History of Usenet, Part II: Hardware and Economics: > https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/blog/2019-11/2019-11-15.html > > The Early History of Usenet, Part III: File Format: > https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/blog/2019-11/2019-11-17.html > > Fun reading.
