But OE wasn't

I worked on Windows 2 apps in 1990.

They were very basic and few people actually
had machines which could run them.

I was first introduced to usenet in Sept 1993. The
people that I worked with read messages with
a command line interface.  I though that this
was much too fiddly and didn't bother
