The wonderful people at Google Groups have finally done what DejaNews was never able to do: 20 Year Usenet Archive Now Available.

Here are a couple other articles about this event that I found interesting:

• The geeks who saved Usenet
• I Remember USENET

Assuming I've used Google Groups search correctly, A2000 Upgrading Questions posted on 15-Oct-1990 to comp.sys.amiga.tech was my very first USENET posting.

Here is a selection of other postings of mine that were restored:
