    Can you show posts in descending order (latest first)?

    Since you're posting from www.novabbs.com, I'll assume that's what you're asking about :)

    Click the 'View Latest' button on this page: https://www.novabbs.com/arts/thread.php?group=rec.music.rock-pop-r%2Bb.1950s

    Also available in the groups list view, the down arrow looking thing to the left of the group names.

    This is the groups list view:
    https://www.novabbs.com/arts/index.php

    The thread will always show newest on bottom. You would need to jump to the
    end to find the latest.

    If you are logged in, then group list view there will be a link '(New)'
    under the group name, and it would show all the new articles posted since
    the last time you entered the group, latest on top.

    It will also move the groups you read to the top (as Subscribed).

    Not by thread, just by posts in the group.

    Retro Guy, will Nova BBS include an archive of posts in the future?

    I don't think there is one, currently?

    Currently, messages expire in 3 years, or 100,000 articles per group,
    whichever comes first.

    I do not plan a permanent archive, just the ability to interact with more
    recent discussion as it is now.

    A huge archive going back decades probably becomes cumbersome fast.

    There are others working on that, but most not with a web interface.

    I do run a news server that has articles back to 1983, but you'd need a newsreader to read them.

    Cant even imagine. Stats from/at JLA

    We have a total of 639,237,283 posted articles with 235,098,255
    attachments in our forums.

    We have a total of 5,433,469 posted photos in our Photo Galleries.

    We have a total of 2,349 posted songs and videos in our Music &
    Video Sections.

    What sort of hardware does it take for so much??

    The news server with old articles is just that, only old articles and
    mostly groups that are no longer used.

    You can access at news.novalink.us port 119

    If you mean an active server, I run news.i2pn2.org. (www.i2pn2.org). It's
    is a spam filtered server, but it is not the server with old articles.

    {very easy to set up in a newsreader app such as T-Bird}

    does not have rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1950s,

    but does have rec.music.beatles,

    this being an article from July 1991 by a Bruce Schatz:

    One thing I've always wondered about is the genesis of the company
    name for Apple Computer. The books I've read about the computer all
    say that Steven Jobs had fond memories of working in an orchard one
    summer and thought that Apple would be a friendly sounding name. But
    I've always harbored a suspicion that the naming was a direct copy of
    the Beatles' Apple Corp. The Beatles' Apple was intended to be a
    corporate haven for countercultural behavior which would change the
    world (although it self-destructed from this). That flavor is just
    the sort of style which would appeal to former blue-box hackers like
    Jobs and Woz. Does anyone know the "true" story?
    Many thanks.
    Bruce

    PS Oddly enough, the Beatles Apple also spawned a major technological invention. The first commercially working CAT scanner (tomography
    machine) was built by G. Hounsfield using Beatles money!
