I know it's a 23 year long shot... but any chance anyone figured out where to get Battle of the Worlds?

Thanks!

Ah! So perhaps if I shine the burning light at them, they'll fall
down, down, down? :)

BTW, I finally found somebody who can send me a copy of the homemade
MST3K built around "Battle of the Worlds".

Huzzah! Thanks for the information. I'd love to see this!
On a related note, I'd be interested to hear how folks have performed
home MiSTings. I know Ryan used an Amiga video toaster to overlay the silhouttes of "Joel and the Bots" on top of the movie; the result
looks just as professional as the "real" show. Have other folks done
this with home MiSTings? I'm just curious. I may be filming one of
my own soon, and want to find out the best possible way to do this.
Thanks!

Out of curiosity, where can you find 23 year old USENET posts?

I don't know about 23 years, but I just scrolled to the bottom of my newsreader, and it'd gone back to February 2008. Then I hit the big
"Get More" button on the toolbar, and it did, going back to November
2007. And again, and again. I'm now back to late 2004.

I have no idea where the bottom is, but 23 years does not seem
implausible at all.
