I found a post of mine from 1984, asking for leads on a
UUCP package to run under VMS. We found a couple, and ran
UUCP for several years until we were hooked up to BITNET
and ARPANET.

Google claims to have recovered the USENET
archives from 1981 to
present.
Makes for some really fun reading. Birth of the web, linux, all the old
machines we love.

I've been perusing it... I can't find any of my own posting prior to
the Great Renaming (net.micro.amiga, etc.) In fact, I can see in
one of the traffic groups my upstream feed telling the other UUCP
admins that we were off the air (and I was out of a job ;-) but I that's
one of the oldest messages with my name in it. None of my _actual_
posts appears until late 1987.
Guess even with 7+E08 messages, there's still gaps.
