A bright day in Internet history! Google’s expanded their Usenet archive, rolling in posts dating all the way back to 1981. They’ve put up the page I’ve linked below, with cool hotlinked milestone’s in Internet history, from the “First mention of a compact disc” to the “First post in alt.hypertext.” Timesink ahoy!
