Hmmm, Our site has every amiga thing since net.micro.amiga article #1.  Of 
course all that stuff is on tape, but it seems to me that alot of major sites
would have done the same thing.  I would hate to even guess how many megs
of stuff is still floating around.  I had thoughts of pulling all the source
code ever posted to amiga groups out and putting them somewhere, but the job
would take weeks (time I don't have.)  I wonder if some people would be
embarrassed about some of the articles they posted a few years ago.
I hope we don't have any My-Site-Has-More-Archives-Than-Yours wars now...:-)
