1989 was a bit before my time, Usenet-wise (I was
still hitting the BBS scene
at the time), but around '93-94 when I got my first Unix shell account, I
recall using nn, but not terribly often (I mean, gopher was _right there_ for
the taking!).
Another vote for nn (and, for that matter, Gopher).
I still use nn on AIX but I don't read a lot of Usenet these days.
