I've never heard of the term eternal september until now, that's pretty neat. Makes me wonder what 1980s usenet groups/conversations looked like. I wonder if DOS or other OS's at the time had a navigable interface for it

One of the main reasons linux has a network stack is so that linus could browse usenet from his desk back when he was still in uni (i remember reading this somewhere ill update this with a source as soon as i find it)

edit: found the source
