     I disagree.  Part of USENET's appeal is its versatility, its ability
to "connect" different types of machines, not just the "elite" with money
to burn.  I say, 'make the software able to translate between all/most
machines and help those with "older" machines to come up with some sort
of translator'.  Some would call "beep" an "older system" (1985), but that
doesn't mean I'm not interested in what's out there, and I certainly don't
want to be cut out because the yuppies decide "beep" is a slum.
