Usenet With a 30 Year Lag

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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."

    Besides a 30-year reverse time warp we have a recursive link. That's deep. Too deep for a Monday really...

    Great - Updated from "http://slashdot.org/olduse.net" to "http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/06/06/1435259/olduse.net". Much better...

    The broken link is half of the 30-year-lag experience.

    Well probably. I mean Eternal September didn't start until nearly a year later.

    I'm ending it when my archive ends. If google or someone wants to donate more material I'll consider running it further.

    I'd like to get to 1994 myself, so I can read my own 1st post.

    amazing looking back 30 years and seeing how things were so different... The economy was in the tank, gas prices were through the roof, unrest in the middle east and a nuclear scare... glad we have come so far
