[comp.sys.apple] What is "info-apple"

SEWALL@UCONNVM.BITNET (03/03/88)

comp.sys.apple (on USENET) = info-apple (on INTERNET) = INFO-APP (on Bitnet)

It's all the same thing (or at least redistributed copies of the same
thing).  If you subscribe through your bitnet account you receive
"info-apple" from the LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 (which functions as a single
address from arpanet to bitnet and "serves" bitnet subscribers).

Out of pure curiosity.  If you receive comp.sys.apple, where to you
address items you which to post to the list?  As far as I know
EVERYTHING eventually finds its way to the "id" known as info-apple
at the Ballistics Research Lab (brl) on arpanet before being "mailed"
to subscribers World-wide.

I send to "comp.sys.apple@usenet" - but I rarely post that way, because
usenet newsgroups are digested at a node on DEC's internal net before
being sent wholesale to all DEC subscribers.  I get info-apple fresh
of the press, as it were, without that delay for digestion.
