And running xtrs, anyone can have one.
I go (TRS-80-wise) a little earlier than that, as my first documented Usenet
post asserts:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.folklore.computers/browse_thread/thread/aedd5baeb2e4e6ba/af8a503f1a33a192?lnk=st&q=%22lamar+owen%22&rnum=16&hl=en#af8a503f1a33a192
Prior to that I did some FIDO with a TRS-80 odel 16B under Xenix System III.
In 1982 I was doing hexadecimal machine code on that TRS-80 Model III, whose
non-disk boot lines you quote. My favorite Z80 joke:
01FFFF
110100
210000
EDB0
(Punchline: one-track mind.)
PostgreSQL in 48K? Ouch. What's wild is that the level-1 cache on my current
processor is larger than that...
So, as to Usenet, earliest documented date is May 1992. Ran a leaf node with
Waffle for a while, then an AT&T 3B1 later, running C News and SMail.
So, Tom, did you enjoy being linked with the Backbone Cabal? What part did
you play in the Great Renaming?
Man, this is totally off-topic, but a fun distraction...
