i keep trying to find this "alt.binaries.pictures.gardens" so that i can
see all the great pics everyone shows us.
but i dont know what it is or what it means or where to go. i tried
doing a search on google and other places but i am soooooo lost here
and missing seeing all the beautiful pictures :'( .

Sockiescat, google groups doesn't carry groups with binaries (i.e., non-text
newsgroups). These newsgroups take up a great deal of space, as one picture
is indeed worth a thousand words. Further, I believe that most of the
alt.binaries.* hierarchy is made up of pornography, so many other ISPs will
refuse to carry these newsgroups.

You can find out if your own ISP carries the binaries newsgroups. If you are
using a windows machine, you have Outlook Express right there to be able to
view newsgroups. Or there are other ones for free on the web - just search
on "free newsreaders" and see what comes up. Or you can plead with those who
post to alt.binaries.pictures.gardens to post their pictures to a website.

Hope this was helpful.
