I dunno whether kddlab (= InetClub host name) still feeds news to other sites, but I'm sure that kddlab no longer gets news feed from UUNET. I find several international news feeding links (e.g. ccut!sun-barr, nec.co.jp!mips, mei.co.jp!panasonic.com, sh8810!uunet), but I'm not sure if finding where a USENET news article exactly comes from is useful, because those articles are shared and spreaded among the Japan Internet. |Such hard drives can't cost more than 3 X the price in Japan and |certainly a company the size of Toshiba could afford them. (Maybe |their executives could give up a couple of games of golf:-) So I |think we are talking about economic *priorities* more than anything |else. The price of hard disk drives in Japan is getting cheaper too. Check out magazines - like UNIX Magazine or SuperASCII. (No affiliation with ASCII Corp., just shown as examples) // Kenji
