I'm getting sick of all these complaints. I'll explain one more time...

The Atari ST is not a "supported" machine at the University of Michigan.
Atari.archive.umich.edu is not our machine.  We have no input on the backup
schedule.  We are permitted to use the machine on the whim of the system
administrator. The Atari Posse consists of volunteers who run the archive
in their spare time. Despite all of that, we still manage to run one of the
best Atari archives in the world.

You want better service? Give us a machine and some funding.

Bottom line: If you don't like our archive, don't use it. We don't need you.
