I still remember that in the early days I got the Emacs distributions with UUCP through a 1200 bps modem (or was it 300?) across the ocean. Scheduled during nightly hours to make use of `cheap' telephone rates. The transfer took about 5 hours. This must have cost the university quite some money. -- Piet van Oostrum URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet@vanoostrum.org
