Good point...

Can't help but wonder when GG will join the modern world and carry
binaries.


Considering the cost of storage to do such a thing and what they
charge for the service; probably never. Consider that text groups are
probably less that 5% of the stuff thats sent to Usenet groups in
toto.

I'd agree... probably never. There's also legal issues to look in to,
such as illegal software being uploaded to some groups. I could see
someone like Google carrying binary groups with the *.pictures.* segment
in their name, but I don't think it will happen soon. (There's also some
legal issues with age-restricted "pictures" groups...)
