Anyone remember when newsgroups where useable?

All this talk of GUBA lately got me thinking back to when we utilized the newsgroups daily. Not sure how many of you were around back then but I can remember going through the PHP, CGI, and SQl newsgroups trying to find info/tips when building some of our original stuff. I guess with the advent of all the messageboard software it became pretty irrelevant. I do however have the same old newsreader installed and checked and the paid access I had to them works... I'm similar to one of our best customers, been billing for 7+ years
