The Internet Archive has received a Usenet data dump

A recent post to comp.sys.raspberry-pi had this link:

I've been told the whole thing works out to over 2 TB uncompressed, but
comp.sys.apple2 and comp.sys.apple are only about 651 MB across two .mbox
files.  comp.sys.apple goes back to November 1986, but strangely has traffic
all the way through to 2001.  comp.sys.apple2 goes back to November 1992
(when it was supposed to take over from comp.sys.apple), but only has posts
through mid-June 2013.  Still, it should be a good start on a
post-Google-Groups archive.  Perhaps the gaps can be filled in with one of
the longer-retention Usenet providers.
