This is too cool. Hymie

Dec 11, 2001

This is too cool. Hymie just told me that google expanded their USENET news archive back to 1981! I now have hours of USENET news reading fun at my fingertips. Ahh the good old days of alt.pud, alt.config, alt.2600 and hsv.general. I was pleased to see that the Google Usenet Timeline includes the first mention of the Amiga. It also has a funny post from 1982 complaining how it will take Lucas some absurd amount of time, like until 1997, to get all nine Star Wars episodes out.
