 [ Thanks Terry for forwarding this to us.  I didn't see it on USENET.  I've sent

 [ After having it pointed out, I had the good luck to catch this message before it
 [ was deleted from the USENET News system I manage for my employer.  This
 [ message circulated on USENET in the group rec.music.makers.piano --- a
 [ group that is automatically distributed to most machines connected to USENET.
 [
 [ USENET "News" pre-dates the Internet -- files were originally transferred
 [ from machine to machine by modem via UUCP (Unix-Unix Copy).  Today there are
 [ over 20,000 machines and most machines get the files over the Internet via
 [ TCP.  The News volume has increased from a few megabytes per day (acceptable
 [ for slow-ish modems) to over 200 MB/day on the weekends.
