Oh yeah!!! Summer!!!
Everybody sing along:
(Xhosa) Nkosi sikelel’ iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw’ uphondo lwayo,
(Zulu) Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.
(Sesotho) Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso, Setjhaba sa, South Afrika - South Afrika.
(Afrikaans) Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,
(English) Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom
In South Africa our land.
I wrote this apartment hunting ad on April 14, 1996 in a Usenet group called muc.market. I was 24 at the time and the Internet was still in its very early stages. I accessed Usenet through CompuServe, a proprietary online service at the time. The WWW was still not very developed so people who were online mostly used services such as CompuServe or AOL which were rather closed worlds of their own - however with some gateways to other parts of the Internet, like the Internet Relay Chat, Usenet and the WWW.
Today, the Usenet is almost forgotten since people these days use things like Craigslist to do the same stuff.
