Encarta seems so quaint to me now, but it really was a well curated encyclopedia that had a designed charm to it.

I admit when I saw this headline I thought "but what about music" and for me, CD's lived long after the 90's due to small music players and cars having audio CD players but not yet being able to read MP3's. Decks with that feature and cars with that feature were not much later.... but we still burnt them to CDRs.

You know what, I just checked, and account expiry is covered in the FAQ.

It might well be expired.

I second emailing membership, they might be able to help you. Or if you trust one of us, we might be able to check, as well.

For finger to work remotely, you have to have set up a .plan file as well as applied correct permissions to it at the time in your home directory.

I have a .plan file, I get that response from finger when I'm on SDF but it doesn't work when I do the lookup remotely. I don't recall the needed permissions.

You know, thanks for this. I've never reach Pitchfork before, I might just start now.
