Re: Just wondering...

I think that Usenet is unknown to the youngsters

Thus leading to the social media platform-of-the-week club :-(

A piece of trivial net & comic history:
I used to print jmb & Moriarty's net.comics comic reviews
for Peter David and post his replies.
He enjoyed connecting with fans so much,
I got him online with a "big electric cat" account
(now known as PANIX) and lent him a
California Computer Systems S100 system (Z80, CP/M)
with WordStar (to finally word process instead of typing).

PAD died recently, but his web site lives on (for now)

fondly, Jeff Jonas
