Re: Sophie Wilson post about early ARM history from 1988
Ah, good old usenet, back in the days when it was useful, and was perhaps the original global online social network (possibly Fidonet fans might disagree). A real shame that the gradual increase in spam and gradual tailing off of new users largely put an end to it (I know there are still a few groups that are, somehow, still thriving even now, although most of it is now a spambot-infested post-apocalyptic wasteland, sadly).
Impressed that way back then (wow, the 80s!), Acorn had a domain name and email.
And loving the uucp usenet transmission, too... Wanders off, muttering something about bang paths...
