   I remember a big discussion a while ago about a business that was selling
   Usenet articles stored over a period of time on CD-ROM.  Can someone tell
   me how to get in contact with that business?  Reply by email, please.

Thanks to Rupert G. Goldie <rgg@aaii.oz.au> for this answer:

However, I got this response from I.Sparry@ss1.bath.ac.uk:

According to a phone call made yesterday, in response to a letter we
received just after Christmas, the company (Sterling Software) are shutting
down their 'Usenet News on CD' operation from the end of March.

This is a great pity, as the letter we received was in response to us
sending them a cheque and a letter saying 'send us a years worth, starting
with the first CD in Jan 93'.
