I'm not a enough of a Usenetite to know how to make these things happen, and I'm not interested in investing any signifigant time in it, but perhaps some of the "old time" a.c.h.h'ers could get it done.
1995 March 8, Mike Inman, “That's it -- I'm building my own PC!.”, in alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt (Usenet)Oh, incidentally, the Usenetite known as Sir Launcelot du Lak (who posts occasionally on csipg.rpg) wrote a review of the first two CD's for Game Bytes magazine a couple of years ago. The review is still available online, if you're interested.
1996 November 5, Robert S. Gregg, “LADY WHISPER, HELP!!!!”, in rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons (Usenet), retrieved 11 Jul 2022Yes folks, I have a CD copy of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer soundtrack. It wasn't easy to get either -- I had to part with six whole dollars for it. A harsh sacrifice, to be sure, but worth it, for now I have one more elusive Matthew Sweet non-album track available at my fingertips. "Huh?" I hear you all saying, "Matthew Sweet's never been on BtVS -- have you been dipping into grandpa's old cough remedy again?" Not so, good Usenetites, for you see, it's the movie soundtrack I have, not the upcoming TV soundtrack. It's all a big joke; deal.
