     Give me your tired, your poor,   
     Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,   
     The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.   
     Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,   
      
   ...but not if they're undocumented, I guess.

   Google didn't provide you anything except a means to access this group. The   
   alt.2600.* hierarchy predates Google as a whole by a number of years;   
   Wikipedia sez '2600: The Hacker Quarterly' (the magazine) was founded in   
   1984, and I imagine the Usenet groups followed rather soon after.

   From the observations and facts we theorize and we deduce;   
   thus arriving very shortly at the truth.
