Even better, they are going to be reinstating the
dejaNews
archives
back to 1995.
yep, that is good. I've got a bunch of news postings from 93/94/95 that I
lost local copies of, so hopefully I'll be able to get a few of the
follow-ups to those back at least.
Now if someone would just find a way to incorporate
the old Usenet
on
CD archives and, perhaps, take donations of single
articles that
people may have archived personally.
well, they reckon their archive is about 1TB - I wonder how much space all
the useful stuff would take up? Less than 100GB surely (I could probably
manage to free up enough for that - not sure how I'd make it available to
everyone else though)
hopefully there'll be a way to hook up to site automatically and write a
client-side app to pull stuff off the site...

As in something that would let me pull of all articles from say
alt.sys.pdp11 ? Now that's something I'd like to be able to do.

Thanks! That's not what I was talking about, BUT that's a HUGE help! I
was trying to figure that out yesterday, and couldn't. I hope they get the
interface more in line with DejaNews Classic, I've been using this for so
long that this is painful (though I do like their highlighting).
I'd been meaning pulling off all messages from a specific group off to my
local hard drive.

Uh, heh, heh.... I have now :^) I think I was having network trouble when
I went to try that, and didn't go back and try again. At least that's my
story :^)
