The web itself didn't exist until the early 1990s, and it took a bit longer than that for web forums to appear. Internet email is nearly 20 years older than that and was in quite wide use when I started using it in the mid 1980s. I'm less sure about dates for newsgroups but I believe they are also substantially older than the web, by at least a decade.
So not from remotely similar eras, unless by that you mean "the couple of decades when only techie people used the internet". -- Owen Smith <owen.sm...@cantab.net> Cambridge, UK > On 18 May 2016, at 12:36, C E Macfarlane <c.e.macfarl...@macfh.co.uk> wrote: > > Email, newsgroups, and web forums all date from a similar era! _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
