In article , David Dyer-Bennet wrote: My first usenet post must be sometime in the 80s, through the decwrl gateway. I had earlier messages to Arpanet mailing lists. And then I ran a Fidonet BBS for about 10 years (85-95). Online timewasting has been much of my life :-). How much fun I had running 2:252/204. Only for a couple of years (1990/1991) until I went to university and typed 'trn' for the first time. Of course by the time I went to uni, the normal transport for Usenet was TCP/IP like it is today (although we had an odd X.25 based system called JANET, which didn't like TCP/IP because of 'not invented here' syndrome). I ran 1:282/341, and was moderator for the SF and WRITING echoes for quite a while. I imported a number of usenet groups and made them available to users; and of course to myself and my wife. -- David Dyer-Bennet, , www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ RKBA: noguns-nomoney.com www.dd-b.net/carry/ Photos: dd-b.lighthunters.net Snapshots: www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Dragaera/Steven Brust: dragaera.info/ |
