Ha. I thought it was supposed to be for apartments or places/areas in the
city to live in and discuss.

At least I remember posts in chi.news.stats, although I think all of them
were from WWA (gagme). I never saw anything in chi.mail though.

When I was cleaning out Clybourn I found a box of old backup tapes, not even
sure what they are, 4mm DAT maybe, whatever was SOTA in 1993/94. Wonder if
any of the old /var/spool/news directories are on them. I know back then you
could fit a whole week of usenet, including the binaries, on a single 600mb
cdrom.

I think the tapes were 250mb, compressed. Wonder if I ever wasted the time
to back up the news spool back then.
