Well, there are 320 node names in the 3/83 graphic, and it's already 
bordering on illegible.  7 times as many, especially with the 
concentrations in NJ, Chicago, Boston, etc, it would have to be pretty 
creative.  The Shannon map of 7/84 had over 900 hosts (just on Usenet, 
not including UUCP only) and they divided it into 9 sections. I suspect 
there were a lot more than 2100 UUCP hosts at its peak.

I haven't had much luck doing searches on Google Groups - it often just 
gives me the first page and refuses to sort by date. Is there a good way 
to mine all the postings to a particular newsgroup, or all of them in a 
particular year?
