[1] at least it's free to the poster....not to the networks that keep having to build ridiculously larger news servers. The first news server I ran for an ISP had 4GB...and that was for the OS and articles. The most recent has 18GB for OS, 288GB for articles...and it's obviously obsolete if others are accepting 300GB/day. When are the operators going to draw the line and say "no more" to binaries?
Perhaps the same time the end-users (whose fees go towards paying for the hardware, presumably) say "we don't want binaries anymore." -- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, alex@nac.net, latency, Al Reuben -- -- Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net --
