Just in case anyone here is still active, or at least cares about the content here, read this:

Hi Folks! It's amazing, this list has been on YahooGroups for close to 20
years. All good things come to an end.
Does anyone know if there's an easy way to download all the
files/attachments easily?

Try:
http://www.personalgroupware.com/pgoffline-index.htm <http://www.personalgroupware.com/pgoffline-index.htm>
I believe it’s now free, given that Yahoo! groups is dead. In any case, the demo is fully featured for 15 days, so that’s plenty of time to leach everything from this, and other, groups before they’re gone.
I’ve been using it for the past couple of years to keep a local archive of about a dozen Yahoo! groups. Works quite well.ts

You can download messages from a Yahoo group using PG Offline:
http://www.personalgroupware.com/
The program works for free for 14 days. Yahoo limits you to about 2,000 message downloads a day. You can export the messages in various formats. Today I exported my Bally Alley Yahoo group (Bally Arcade/Astrocade-related) to MySQL and html files). This works pretty good. I plan to upload these files to archive.org for safekeeping.

In the meantime any of you folks knows in-depth about the banking scheme of the 2068 so we can include this as an option on the ZX Spectrum Next? Currently we can only do the TC2048 which is basically a spectrum :(
