But I was actually replying to the post by Mr. Nataraj S. Narayan. I wanted to tell him about my disagreement on Usenet being redundant among todays web centric apps. Usenet did gobble up 60mb of my bandwidth cap. Believe me. Of course there was a small glitch in my Emacs setup that ate about 20mb extra. Precisely, it would be correct to say that I spent around 40mb downloading news only. It was the Usenet which helped me in my early days with Emacs and GNU/Linux in general. Nostalgic moments are quite addictive. After quite a long gap, that night, I sat on my machine for about 8 hours straight. You speak wise. Somewhere, something is not right when you are hooked on to the Usenet ;-) > -sm Regards -Subhankar -- blue pill or red pill -- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
