You only had two choices back then: AOL or Compuserve. Sorry Etienne, but that's just not true. Here are Usenet posts archived as such from 1981. http://www.google.com/googlegroups/archive_announce_20.html > >> The reason that Etienne mentioned Google is that they archive Usenet >> posts from the 80s on, and in 2001 purchased DejaNews.

Google was just a search engine and later began offering groups. Then they added the Usenet archives and now offer connection to Usenet. Oh...your last post was one of the best of the year.
