It's fun to read through this history, while I'm listening to "Where Wizards Stay Up Late".
In reading through the thread [1], I noticed Marc and Jim Davis used an example audio file from the NSA that no longer exists: http://nsa.gov/pub/sounds/gorby.au
Anyone know what the story behind that was? Was that a common example?
From the filename and context, I'm going to guess it had something to do with Mikhail Gorbachev?
Searching for that filename yields almost exclusively links to that conversation.
Wayback machine didn't have anything for that URL but they did have a snapshot of the splash page for the NSA website circa 1998: https://web.archive.org/web/20051104005542/http://www.nsa.go...
Archive.org is truly a treasure.
