- Eliot> Chris, how many news readers do you have?
-
- Ah, someone spotted the catch... ;-)
-
- Probably about 10-30 medium to heavy users. Probably 2 GNUSers, a few
- nnites, 5 or so rn'ers, and a bunch (uncountable) of Mac readers
- (Newswatcher & Nuntius, mostly).
-
- Readers are the real load on most systems.
-
- (This is also why MIT has snorkelwacker to pump news, and bloom-beacon &
- bloom-picayune to support the readers... I bet there aren't too many
- users reading news off zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu, either.)
