Usenet With a 30 Year Lag

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday June 6, 2011 @02:54AM from the deja-what-now dept.

joey writes "The early A-News days of Usenet are being played out on olduse.net in realtime with a 30 year time delay. You can catch up on what rms and Postel are doing, Keep informed of the latest prices in disk drives ($75000 per gigabyte), and more. Available through a web-based teletype or NNTP. I plan to run the service for the next ten years, until 1991."
