20 Year Usenet Timeline

Google has fully integrated the past 20 years of Usenet archives into Google Groups, which now offers access to more than 800 million messages dating back to 1981. This is by far the most complete collection of Usenet articles ever assembled and a fascinating first-hand historical account.

Among the list, First mention of Microsoft, First review of the IBM-PC, First mention of Michael Jordan, First mention of the term 'search engine', First mention of Google and many interesting topics are mentioned. It is a good collection and stories house to retrieve the history!
