Holy mackerel ! Let's archive this before it disappears forever.  Remember when Sam Goldberger announced the Pyro?

How do we grab this piece of history?

Heh, I believe the newgroup will remain browsable, just not postable. I don't think they mean to completely wipe it away. At least that's my understanding. And I hope I'm right!

the wording on that link seems different from what I recall. I thought it was just being removed from moderated status and not in total(i.e. the group and its contents will still exist but not moderated, as the other c.s.n.* are).

So long as it's able to be browsed, I see no troubles. I haven't perused the CSN Usenet in years due to low activity, but I did find my first NeXTstation there about 5 years ago. And the few regulars were always friendly and willing to help. I'm glad nextcomputers.org is around for us to keep learning and talking about our favorite hardware.
