Whenever there is a request to read Usenet News, or when new News comes
in, our "News" machines goes into action - and that is almost constant !
Usenet News comes in to the News system from three sources: from our
satellite news feed, from
Sprintnet via the Internet, and from the ClariNet News Service for our
AP and Reuters news wire feeds. Total news volume is from 5 Gb to
over 10 Gb of new News articles each day ! At any moment in time, we have
available on our News system approximately one million articles in over
50,000 newsgroups - probably the largest selection in Michigan !
Happy reading !!
