I'm sure that the following "information" will be of underwhelming 
interest to most readers :-(.
Ross / Ken might wish to forward this to Steve Baldwin.

I just discovered by chance that Google groups knows about an earlier 
internet posting of mine than it previously did - probably courtesy of 
Henry Spencer's archiving activities.

My oldest recorded internet footprint is now April 24th 1992 - 14 
years ago in another 9 days. Unlike my prior oldest known post where 
Henry Spencer was pointing out the deficiencies in my rocketry 
knowledge (some things don't change) this post has me recommending a 
friend's mobile data terminals to a fellow NZer, Steve Baldwin. Small 
world.

Underwhelming record of a seemingly random selection of 8 of my early 
posts (out of a rather larger number of actual originals). The basis 
on which posts survived or not in the archives is unknown.

My access way back then was by 300 baud modem to a local BBS system 
(Kappa Crucis) which just happened to have internet access via a 
landline to the university. This was exceedingly rare at that stage - 
I know of no other Auckland NZ BBS at that stage that provided net 
access. Local isolated BBSs were essentially the sole means of PC 
intercommunications.
