Great points in Usenet history

no_nicks_available writes "An article on The Register points to some of the highlights of Usenet history. " First mention of Microsoft, GNU, Madonna, the Compact Disc, and more. It's worth a look if only to read the first kibo post to alt.religion.kibology.

[Mr. Neutron]

I'm starting to think that jumping sides from the Haavaad nosers to the Meowers was a mistake.

My life would have been oh-so-cheerier for the past six years had I never entered into alt.fan.karl-malden.nose. I certainly wouldn't have gotten on the bad side of campus network security. *sigh*

I wonder if Matt still gives free blowjobs...
