  • Do you use Usenet?

    All of my vintage pin-up collection comes from Usenet and so does my Bettie Page collection. I found some hard to find 50's b-movies and some rare Beatles recordings. And I'm not even thinking about the prOn I throw away after watching it

            Sadly, don't have time for it anymore. I still have Agent sitting around on my machine somewhere. It's not necessarily anymore, too.

                  True, but when you can download them at a fast and constant speed, who cares?

                    I occasionally read rec.games.roguelike.adom on groups.google.com.

                      I never figured out how to use Usenet in 1995, and I still haven't figured it out in 2005. Not that I care anymore.
