Have you considered mailing floppies as an alternative? It's a LOT cheaper, and it means that the bills are paid by you rather than by others. You are ignoring the fact that many of the sites paying the bills are *not* using the Macintosh in Unix-related work. It sounds like interesting stuff, but why exactly should I pay for voluminous newsgroups related to it? -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
