Google groups now has a full 20 years of usenet history on line. That's over 700 million messages. Aaron Swartz pointed to some fun old ones, like Tim Berners-Lee's first post and this first "executive summary" of the world wide web project. More links on Aaron's page.

update: Here's a timeline from google with many of these early interesting threads. Wow.

Great links, got sucked into the timeline for the better part of my late night surfing. Read the linux debate, facinating though I'm clueless on the subject...
