When Google first announced that they'd reconstructed the Usenet archives back to 1983, they had a really interesting (to me) page that linked to some 'highlights': the first mention of MS Windows, the first 9/11 post, the announcement of LINUX etc.

I can't seem to find it anymore. Maybe Google have zapped it, but if the page still exists, I'd be grateful for a pointer.

Thanks

Ed
