Re: [GNC] GnuCash list: gmane
Gmane is (thanks heavens) definitely not dead. I am at this very moment reading your post via Gmane. The Thunderbird email program, which I use for normal day-to-day email, will also connect to usenet services (like gmane) and presents those posts with the same UI as regular emails. It is the best way of reading mailing lists as far as I am concerned since I get to browse the posts and decided what I want to read without using my machine's resources to download and store them all. It used to be possible to post through Gmane as well but that stopped working for me several years ago (maybe when it changed from gmane.org to gmane.io?) No problem, when I need to post, I subscribe to the mailing list but turn off delivery so I can post directly to the list but still read via Gmane/Thunderbird. Gmane is also one of the few remaining useful services on the internet that hasn't tried to monitize its users and is run by a lot of personal sweat on the part of it's owner. And no, I'm not still using a 300 baud modem. :-) reading your post On 7/7/20 10:09 AM, Frank H.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash list: gmane
When I started programming, we would mail (US Postal Service) decks of punched cards to MIT to be run on their machine. Then they would mail the printed output back to us. This was in 1963.

You beat me to it! I was going to make the same reference. So here's my contribution: In 1994 I was in Tanzania working at the main hospital in the country.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash list: gmane
I think I was lucky enough to set up on a 14.4kbps. I thought that was blazing fast. (I used to manually write to my printer using my CoCoIII @ 300-2400) My eventual bump to 56k was like being a kid in a candy store. Then came AOL and very large phone bills! DSL and the web were heaven by comparison. (I’m all fiber now!) I also remember dialing into various BBSs. I think some are still maintained believe it or not. (I think someone even figured out to use a BBS with HAM if I’m not mistaken) And I used Gopher in our school and public libraries. (I think Archie too, but that is a bit fuzzy, so I might have just been aware of it.)
