[sdiy] PSA: Archives for Yahoo Groups

[Mattias Rickardsson]

Hi,

I must have missed the Chroma Polaris group, but I downloaded 3.8 GB of
data from a bunch of other synth-related groups that I had found
interesting but never cared to read, tell me if I should make it available:

After downloading them, it was kind of fascinating to see the photos stored
in the groups. Old unique low-resolution images clearly originating from
times before today's handy channels of easily finding all info we need.
Archaic documentation business, futile at times, but occasionally fun. :-)
