More than I care to list and probably some that I wouldn't.

I've been on usenet since the early 80's.


My first access to Usenet was through a BBS door. I was paying by the hour
back then. I remember doing some chatting via satellite link to Birmingham
from the Kwajalein Atoll back in the late 1980's. Watching the letters
appearing on the green screen of the IBM PC as the guy back in Birmingham
typed them was pretty cool. The 7" Fire tablet I now use was science
fiction back then. It's amazing that an old school text based discussion
forum like Usenet is still around albeit on life support.

Binaries are busy.
