Not always true. One of our first local feeds was running
on a MicroVAX - and you could read as they scrolled, or mark
the messages and save them there, and then download them if you
wanted to archive them. But that was in the days when 1200 bps
was about the top speed and it was fairly easy to read at that
speed.
