I remember when you despaired of DCU because you couldn't get the usenet access you wanted
Oh my God, that brings me back. I had to plough through piles of bureaucracy for months and get a special yellow form *signed by a lecturer*, just to get the sysadmins to add rec.arts.sf.written to the newsfeed :)
Usenet. I used to consume it in vast quantities. On a green and black VT100. Them was the days.
