I thought that was common knowledge, along with <AOL> and other
suchlike gems. As usual, there's an XKCD for that.

Hah.

Ironically I became aware of it when Green Day had their song "Wake me
up when September ends" out.

Turns out that that had nothing to do with the meaning discussed here.

But heh! At least I knew this one, so ICMFF "I'm not as much of an old
fuddy-duddy as some folks here" vouchers.

I may have known it, but I am senile, so I don't have to (can't)
remember anything.

FWIW, I first used Usenet in '81, when I worked at ITT/DCD as a
drafter/prototype tech. The engineers used it for work, but I just used
it to access alt.jokes and a couple of other equally important groups.

I didn't - despite being around from the beginnings of usenet, I never
used AOL - because my employer was an 'academic institution' :-)

However, I do remember the 'fullness' of the internet at one stage being
blamed solely on the BBC iPlayer - which was (arguably) the first
commonplace streaming service?

I used AOL initially.
Early '90s.

I did some HLD work for server installation (Sun V440 IIRC) during the
early stages. I was impressed with what they were trying to do.
