Rich, if you point a reader at nttp.olduse.net, you can start reading in
1988 again. :) The most recent messages posted are from 05/10/88. The
messages that appear on the server are exactly 30 years behind the current
date. It's pretty cool. Last year was the Great Renaming. :)

As an aside: If you were active on Usenet in
1989, what software were you
using?
1988-89 is about when I started reading Usenet newsgroups. At first, I used
rn under Ultrix (on a VAX 3600, the staff Ultrix system at LOTS), but soon
switched to Gnews (different from GNUS) under Emacs 18.59 because it saved
messages into an RMail format mailbox file for later access. Once I had that I
almost never used any of the Unix-y newsreaders.
