Usenet Archives back to 1995

Google has come through on their promise to bring up the full Deja archive of Usenet news postings. The Google Groups site now offers the archive back to March 29, 1995. Google claims that is has more than 650 million individual messages. Also, the Google Groups advanced search page has been expanded with options to sort by date, and to restrict language, message ID, author, subject, date, or newsgroup. Google also states that they plan to offer posting ability, like Deja used to have, sometime during May.
