Hi again. I've checked CRVAX server but I can't locate what
I'm searching... Anybody knows a place where could be located
the INFO-VAX mailing list messages previous to 17-May-1981 ?
This is the date of the first message gatewayed to the Fa.info-vax
newsgroup. If I read correctly the info that appears in
http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/issue3_8/chapter10/ ,
Usenet began in 1979, and the FA.* groups were gatewayed
>from mailing lists to the Usenet newsgroups by the long time closed
(1994 if the RIP note of one person that I assume was Keith Bostic
was correct) UCBVAX server. Do you heard about some kind
of backup or so of these early Usenet and/or mailing lists messages ?
By the way, a little swinging in the messages of these years is,
like Spock could say without any doubt, "fascinating".
By example, one reference to one Datamation of 1981 that
did a critic about the Unix interface :-)
,,, or one guy that tried in 1981 to do one list of DBMS for Unix.
I don't know if somebody knows cause of direct participation
some of these hits.
Thanks and Greetings

Yes. But I maintain that squirrels are NOT FOOD not because you
won't find them in Food Lion...but you won't find them in Food Lion
because they're NOT FOOD. :)

I don't believe I've had them yet, no...are they good?

My Zoology prof claimed to have eaten just about
eberything on the planet that people make a regular
habit of eating... grubs were the first thing he
mentioned.

Dunno about wild, but Bob&Tom's domestic deep-fry
recipie is a big winner around here...

No problem, just file a notch in your "analog" cassette. ;)
I'm not sure that would work, but given the improved resolution, etc, in
cassette tapes during the last several years, it just may.

I bought a CGA-compatible video cards a few years back
(80s), that had an incompatible hi-res mode in addition
to the CGA, and a mouse interface.
The manual kept referring to "the connector of the ten ways".
This sounded *SO* Zen that I was sure than once I had it
figured it, it'd be the secret to life.
Finally dawned on me that this was "10-pin connector".

Hello. A short note to thanks the help about Google Usenet Groups.
I probed the &Filter=0 and works :-)
I want to begin a project with a large projection in time. I want to
translate
to spanish language all the historical and classic computer documents
I can. I should like to begin with articles, files and documents of
relevance
about the Internet, but I am thinking in mirror some classic computers
websites translating them to my idiom. I don't know if anybody could be
interested about it and permit to do the mirror and translation.
Thanks and Greetings

Ok, Ok, you're right, you *won't* find it on the menu
down at Mickey D's... or Hardups... or Snake n Shake...
or Food Lion...
BTW, now that you're _down south_, has anyone turned
you onto the burgers at Crystal's ?

Well, my 3 1/2 year old cat, Isabelle, like to like tape and pictures. Never
figured that one out yet...

Difficult you mean in terms of finding a replacement, I assume...
it *is* fairly easy to replace on in a Mac, procedure-wise,
but I had a boxed new Apple replacement to drop in...
