1988-89 is about when I started reading Usenet newsgroups. At first, I used rn under Ultrix (on a VAX 3600, the staff Ultrix system at LOTS), but soon switched to Gnews (different from GNUS) under Emacs 18.59 because it saved messages into an RMail format mailbox file for later access. Once I had that I almost never used any of the Unix-y newsreaders. (I had to switch to GNUS when Emacs 19 came out, but that's another story.)
