20 Year Archive now Available on Google Groups

This is actually fairly interesting. It’s got a listing of some of the more historic posts, like the first mention of Microsoft, or the first mention of AOL in Usenet. (Via Firda’s weblog .)

This also presents us with a dilemna. For the last 20 years, how many things have you said online that you wouldn’t want people to read now? Too bad, it all exists and is archived, at least in the case of Usenet. That may not be a good thing all the way around…
