Yes, from what I heard, this was close to the amount the binary files generated 
in new activity, but I think most places you could even get that only keep it a 
short time relative to the regular messages.

  Brent,

               Traffic on Usenet is at a trickle compared to what it was in the 
1980s and 1990s when I was heavily active there.  The worldwide web has 
supplanted it for the most part.

               I don't think there's anything close to 1TB of new information 
posted on the text groups, and I don't know of anyone who's archived the 
binaries groups.  Also, in the grand scheme of things for companies like 
Google, Amazon, and a number of others, 1TB is far, far, far less than the 
proverbial drop in a bucket.

  Brian
