Date: Sat, 13 Jun 1998 11:51:06 EDT From: JohnLX200@aol.com Subject: [M]: ADMIN: mapug-digest back issues available We're currently at around mapug digest #1227, and with the recent lapse of one archive site, and the firing up of a couple of others, I thought I'd remind everyone that they can directly access the digests at the list server for download without having to use or abuse archive sites at all. For example, to get Digests 976 and 1221, send an email to majordomo@shore.net In the body, put exactly the following: get mapug-digest v01.n976 get mapug-digest v01.n1221 I believe they're all still available from v01.n001 dated April 21, 1996, presumably when Todd moved the list to shore.net, although at some point my ISP will probably want to roll some old ones off or charge me more. To see the whole list of available digests (pretty boring, as they're sequentially numbered...but it gives file size and date in addition to name) send an email to majordomo@shore.net and say: index mapug-digest If you're braver than me, you might also try "index mapug" although I bet the list is pretty long if it kept all the individual posts!

In addition, check the recent mapug archives on www.astroarchive.com.
The following mailing lists are archived there:
MAPUG (Meade Advanced Products User Group)
SBIGUSER (Santa Barbara Instrument Group Users)
CB Homebuilt CCD (Homebuilt CCD Usergroup)
Astro (The fabulous and informative ASTRO mailing list)
plus many others. The total count of lists being archived is now 40!
The new lists added
include AAVSO Discussion, Astro Physics, International Dark Sky
Association, Galileo News,
International Meteor Organization, Mercury Discussion List,
Meteorites, Questar User Group, Old
Telescopes User Group, SeeSat Visual Observing and, last but not
least, Shallow Sky Observing.
MAPUG now has a new nice web site at MAPUG.com. Check it out.
