USENET from 1981 to present on google

Well it certainly could be worse....it's got to be quite a task to have an archive like that, especially one that grows so much each day. My earliest post is showing from 1995, about the time I really started gathering these machines. I did find a post that I had lost my copy of some time back, that provided some info I needed on a set of pinouts though! BTW, here's a rather optimistic post, cut and pasted direct from Google: ------------------------------------------ Relay-Version: version B 2.10 5/3/83; site utzoo.UUCP From: blk(a)syteka.UUCP (Brian L.

Hoorah! Amiga is an amazing machine. 68K, 128K of RAM, video chips that make the c64 look like a VIC, sound chips, yow! Rumor puts the price at $1000. This for a machine with the power of a Macintosh with super graphics. I can't wait!
