Article in #Usenet I rather if the conversation is there so is async and sticks, here in Mastodon things just get scrolling up and up and gets lost https://news.novabbs.org/computers/article-flat.php?id=481&group=alt.2600#481 also on the #hispagatos #Matrix space https://matrix.to/#/#hispagatos:matrix.org after joining the space enter room #GamesJuegos is only accesible to members of the Matrix Space like discord etc
We also play #netrunner the card game and #AlbionOnline etc and use #mumble for voice
I cannot speak for #Australia and I didn't witness it actually done for Usenet, firsthand. But people definitely had conversations about the comparatively large bandwidth of shipping storage devices around. Magtape rather than discs would have been the better idea in this case, though.
We defiinitely did this sort of thing ad hoc in the BBS world, for files more than for echomail.
It's still a thing today. Big companies with lots of data can pay Amazon for something called a "Snowball Edge", one variant of which has 200TiB of storage. It comes via courier, and gets shipped back to Amazon for upload.
Round trip time is measured in months. (-:

Internet fungerar inte likadant som för 30 år sen. Allt som fungerade för 20 år sen på internet fungerar idag skriver Jesper Nilsson i ETC. Det är faktiskt inte korrekt även om jag håller med om det han skriver i övrigt. 30 år gamla mejladresser funkar fortfarande men inte alltid.
