Rumors have been around for awhile, but it's becoming obvious from today's removal of various links that Google, Inc., after spending a fortune for the Dèja archives and cooking up probably the worst HTML agent interface ever to Usenet, is planning on letting "Google Groups Beta" collapse. Threats...

I picked up a copy of Elvis's "Burning Love and Hits From His Movies" today, on the Pickwick label. Programs 1 and 4 were reversed, as were 2 and 3. Musta been a rough day at Pickwick. Oh- heard a funny joke last night: "I love Jesus, but I see him as like Elvis. I love the man, but some of the...

Besides "I love you". "Your speakers you bragged about sold". One thing she DID say; " Charlie, your auctions are as limp as your shriveled limp dick. At least I have Pedro to satisfy me while you're at sales meetings. Maybe he can run your auctions!"

Beauty, eh! I just got a box of exc. Canadian RCA carts, the ones colored like Werther's chocolate, all with rivets! The quality's better than their US counterparts by far. Same goes for the WEA Canadian counterparts, which have replaced my US-made dupes. Canadian carts always sound better,...

That GM car you buy today will be a worthless turd tomorrow! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15608467/ The biggest cost of car ownership isn't gas, repairs or even adding that amazing sound system. It's depreciation, the decrease in value that comes over time. The options you add to your new car...

Way to go Mr. Perv. You're making quite a reputation for yourself. http://groups.google.com/group/misc.survivalism/msg/2f72acaffc9bcf3e?dmode=source

Too funny, Charlie tried to cover up Foleys young boy obsession by changing the subject line to posts about it in other newsgroups and he got his ass kicked, KA-POW! Way to go ****head, BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Gotta love the question asked to Charlie " Are you trying to change the subject because you...

Google has finally decided to get serious about their Usenet interface, Google Groups, and has moved from "beta" mode to an actual working service. It seems that they had considerable trouble getting their complaint desk in order during the beta phase, but it apperas to be working fine now!

DESERTBOB and BICYCLE (not their real names) are trolls. They regularly frequent at least twenty news groups, including many rabid/sex/racist/gay/disabled/unemployed/welfare/food stamp groups. Normally, they start off with reasonable, even witty lines, but rapidly drift into lies, abuse and...

How's the sound quality on 3.75 ips reel to reel tapes? 3.75 reel to reel has the same width and the same speed as 8 track so theoretically the sound quality should be about the same. Is this correct? thanks Rusty
