K,
I just got switched to Giganews also. What I like is that the pictures on abpo apparently stay for about 3 weeks instead of a day or less.

Hi all, OK, this is on topic only because we're all reading this group on computers, so I have a computer question. My ISP changed to Giganews, making access to Usenet difficult. Therefore I'm taking this opportunity to research changing from Outlook Express to some other news reader. I'm also taking this opportunity to finally stop using Internet Explorer as a browser. Something I intended to do 4-5 yrs ago, heh. Hi K, Changing your reader from OE doesn't fix the problem of your ISP changing Usenet access. Except for the problem of changing your email address, maybe you'd be better off changing ISPs. If you look for a new ISP, I recommend Verizon. As a freelance writer and photographer, I travel a lot and have never been anywhere I couldn't get a local access number for dial-up connection. Verizon also gives me access to every newsgroup. I use MS Outlook which invokes OExpress for a news reader, but not email. I use the tools and rules features to cut down on SPAM and reject obnoxious posters. Virus and worms are dealt with by Norton Anti-Virus which automatically checks (in the background) for updates every time I go online and forces an update weekly, whether it needs to or not.
