Google has published a Usenet Timeline, starting on 11th May 1981, listing some of the more memorable (and some not :-) moments in Usenet history.
November 11th, 1993 is the date of the earliest post of mine that I can find (embarrassed – i was 19 at the time :-) My subsequent post history brings back some cool memories – Starcon II, the Psycho Neurosis demo, Pascal (we’re talking Turbo Pascal 7 here :-), Corel Draw 4, my first forays into C++, Windows 3.1, NCSA HTTPD 1.4, CGIs for the first time, 850 Meg hard drives, 14.4 modems, ePages first Silicon Graphics machines (Indy WebForce Workstation and a Challenge S running IRIX 5.3), Sendmail woes, Netscape Communication and Enterprise webserver software, IRIX 6.2, Virtual hosting on one IP address, Informix databases, SQL, and Microsoft jokes :-)
I’ve come over all nostalgic now.
It’s amazing we even managed to survive without Google.
