Long before the web there was a program and protocol called gopher. It applied to documents. Before that there was Archie. Though gopher I used more.

In 95 I switched to Dejanews which Google bought out later. Dejanews supported Usenet is why. Not yahoo.

Yeah I'm a relic. I have posts on Google's Usenet archive when it was Dejanews.
