I do- a look back in time, a living fossil of sorts.

It's kind of surreal, as you really don't "feel" like the Internet didn't come into being until the mid 90s.

A few years ago, someone showed me a link to a Usenet discussion of Return of the Jedi from just after its release in 1983.


I've seen posts on Usenet about the 84 election. Really fun to read in retrospect.

Any chance of providing a link?

Pretty intense discussion!

1992 predictions from that summer

The only thing I'd complain about is the modern layout on those ones... kind of ruins the feeling.

Eh, there are archives of newspapers and archives online going back decades, so it's not that amazing.

But it's the internet. Real forum discussion, in the same form and medium that we use today.
