I love treasure hunting. Sometimes Usenet feels like the dusty old thrift store of the Internet. If you have ever found a thrift store with rows of shelves chock full of books, old compact discs, and ancient cassette tapes, then you know what I mean.
Not enough for me, 36 hours alone, and a handful of cialis
Back then, porn only got from a printed page or developed photograph to an electronic format if you had a scanner - and those weren't cheap. Only a corporation or weird uncle had such tech, so the best "porn" I used to see was a fuzzy picture of the Budweiser girls or Cindy Crawford in a 1-piece swimsuit.
If I remember right, textual porn was a bigger thing. People world circulate Penthouse Forum letters they copied from the magazine.
