What is Usenet? Its also referred to as Internet Newsgroups. They are kind of hard to explain, but here is a link for a detailed view. www.harley.com/usenet/whatis-usenet.html
Think of Usenet as the entire Internet's forum. So many topics!!!!! You will surely find one of your interests. Although it contains binaries, or more simply defined, files you can download, the real good stuff in in the information you can find, from how to fix your PC to who is a good mystery author to sharing recipes to bug collecting to...well, you get the picture. I won't get into the binaries topic.
How to easily search Usenet? Try this:

Let's say you are a casual fan of the Beatles and want to know something obscure about them, in the above link search for "Beatles lost recordings". You'll find tons of information about songs not recorded or missing tapes. Very cool!
