But now that we have access to USEnet, among others, we have an infinitely
more useful resource to plunder for our own use.

Getting source code ON PAPER is a pain in the neck. Getting absolutes on paper
is plainly stupid.

I can (and do) get comp.binaries.amiga, with a wealth of information in it,
all for the cost of a phone call.

Networks are far far better than magazines, even ones as good as Byte once
was.
