[comp.os.vms] info-vax distribution speed???

SEYMOUR@phast.phys.washington.EDU (05/20/88)

i was about to reply to a note from Larry Herzlich about EXSYS Race disk drives.
then i noticed the date of the message: it was sent (by him) 19-apr-88.
it was received here 18-may-99.
ONE MONTH IN TRANSIT??????
his address: @emx.utexas.edu
my address: @uwaphast (bitnet)
just being in the dark that long is one thing, but i am curious as to
who is having to bear the load of holding those messages on their disks
for that length of time.  networks do indeed do wonderous things.
