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?
