As of this morning (Tuesday, 18 April 1995), there are still over 3,000 files
awaiting processing by NetNews on MiamiU.  We are still behind on that
platform, and are likely to remain behind until the NetNews servers are
consolidated on Rose and moved off MiamiU and MiaVX1 altogether.  (This will
happen shortly after the semester ends.)
