Have we given up? - a cheap access provider
Good to know, Chuck. Thanks.
-- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies. Books, Artwork, and lots of Free Info! "C. Berlin" wrote in message ster.com... usenetmonster.com is much cheaper than giganews, only $3/month, and has worked flawlessly for me. One quirk with this provider: they have two servers you can access. The news.usenetmonster.com server was slow for me; the bignews.usenetmonster.com server is very fast. They have a very easy to follow instruction guide on their website as to how to set this up, and the one email question I sent was answered the next day. I'd been with giganews after verizon dropped newsgroups, but didn't like their high monthly fee so switched to usenetmonster. It accesses all the orchid groups and everything else, accepts binary pictures, etc. Chuck B. "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message . .. Guess I'd better look into Giganews, and figure out how to use it. What's the other one? Terranews? |

Giganews isn't a news reader, it's a news server. You need to pay to access their server, unless your housemate figured out a way to hack into it. -pondering- maybe it came free with the level of service we had when we signed up. it's certainly not on the bill. the machine connects to something like "newsgroups.comcast.net" to download the groups. and the newsreader is mt-newswatcher, now that i think about it. but i'm told that giganews is in there somewhere. or maybe it will all be gone next time i get on the machine at home. i note that newzbot no longer has this group available to read. --j_a |

Uh-Oh... That certainly isn't Giganews. Back in the good old days, before Adelphia folded, they actually contracted with Giganews to provide their newsgroup service (at no extra charge). That was nice while it lasted. yes, i think that's what the 'cr@p did back in the day too, and then migrated it over. oh well, i fiddled with motz last night a bit and then the housemate said he got it working, so we shall see... --j_a |

Hi Tennis, I couldn't see your post on ABPO, but that's expected because I'm using Motzarella. Those of us using that (free) service can post with or without pictures and receive all the posts that include no picture. On rare occasions we see pictures from other news servers. Other than you saying so here, I wouldn't have a clue that you posted anything there until Tom replied. I could see the link to the picture on the web site in his reply. Beautiful flower, by the way! :-) Steve PS Our power went off for a minute just as I finished typing the above. I saved this and started............... PPS Everything above was written on Tuesday evening. Now, Wednesday evening, I will continue.... As I was saying, the power went off. Battery backup let me save what I was doing. I sat there wondering (for just a moment) whether to leave the computer on and let the glow from the monitor help me find my way to find a flashlight. Before I decided, the power came back on. I found a flashlight and put it in my pocket. I started to write the PS and it went off again. I shut down the computer and it came back on for 30 seconds then went off for good. Power was off from 10:45 until 3:30 AM or so. We had snow and high winds. It snowed all night and continued with light snow all day today. Over a foot of snow in October. Go figure. Steve (in the Adirondacks...of course) |
