Argh. This is a subject of some embarrassment to me. Y'see, Google a few years back made their entire Usenet feed publicly searchable (formerly DejaNews, I think) which means you can find almost everything a young 17 year old al_fruitbat wrote when he arrived at college in 1994 and discovered this thing called JANET and the one computer that connected to teh Intarweb, and that one could argue with thousands (at the time) of other students from across the world via newsgroups devoted to Sci-Fi, Dune, Horror, Clive Barker, Acorn and ZX Spectrum computers and [shudder] Anne Rice, amongst others.
A few months later, I remember convincing the admin of the 'puter room network to install this new thing called NCSA Mosaic, which was a 'graphical gopher' program....
