90115534 (banned) Someone is sabotaging me.Finding out who join:2001-06-03 Kenner, LA	90115534 (banned) to mythology Member 2012-Dec-10 10:05 pm to mythology said by mythology: vcdq + binsearch. Not sure if people are aware of this but Newsleecher has a feature called Supersearch. Type in what you are looking for and tada. The only thing I`ll miss from NZBmatrix is the comments BUT vcdq has a pretty decent comment section. You just have to find the files yourself. I use newsleecher supersearch as well because I get it for free Sorry can't say how.

Internet wasn't available in my area until 1992. Back in the 80s, there was this thing called UUCP that predated NNTP -- so a lot of us getting Usenet didn't have "Internet" either That was me back then--1989. uuencode/uudecode. Pain in the neck.

Back in the late eighties, I remember using the company's 2400 modem that was connected to a VAX/VMS system. I could use my AT286 PC DOS machine and send commands to retrieve pages (in my email account) of text coming from something new back then: the worldwide web.

synchron join:2002-12-31 Simi Valley, CA	synchron to darcilicious Member 2012-Dec-15 2:11 pm to darcilicious OK, might have been early 90's but definitely prior to Windows 2 and 3.1. Back then, i was having much more fun with my Atari ST and connecting to text based midi/music newsgroups via GEnie BBS.

Bichon MVM join:2002-10-10 Freehold, NJ	Bichon to Bob4 MVM 2012-Dec-16 10:36 am to Bob4 I found USENET posts of mine from 1984, just by doing a Google search of my old UUCP address. Back in those days, one didn't sign up with an NSP - instead one would install software (we used B news) on a Unix server and be pushed copies of every single post from their upstream provider. NNTP hadn't been invented yet; to participate in USENET one would login to a server that had the feed, and use newsreader software like "rn" to read and post. When a colleague and I first put up USENET at our site, it was possible to download an entire newsfeed of everything that was posted that day with a 1200 baud modem. By 1986, news volume had increased to the point where we needed to install a high-end Telebit Trailblazer modem capable of speeds of up to 18.4 kilobits/sec. running nearly 24 hours a day to get it all. No binaries at all in those days; that didn't happen until the alt.* newsgroups came around in 1987-88.
