It's supposed to be the group to announce events and for nightlife,
which no one could possibly figure out from the name.

If you like this group, you'll really love chi.news.stats, where the scripts
have been borked for 15 years.

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.

ha. DAT tapes.

I just came across my IBM DAT drive, so assuming I have gnutar on my 
rs/6000, and it can still boot off its micropolis hard disks, I might be 
able to see what's on a backup I made in the late 1990s of who knows what.
