As I am on webtv we are getting the new box they have out. It will not
let you in the news groups. I am very upset about that but it has more
power and you can do much more with it on the net so I have to go with
it. It also can be hooked to broadband. I will really miss you all (even
you Roy) and thank you all for all the info I got here. This is still
the best group on the net. I will be here till the 17th then we get
hooked up. Keep on ponding

If you have web access, you can get to the group from Google Groups!

** If they don't supply Usenet you can access free news servers or post/read
through Google. Please look into a cheap computer. You can get them for
$500 these days. If used, around $100.

Can you get to Google on this new
setup?
AOL dropped newsgroups and I'm now here
via Google Groups. There are lots of ways to
see the posts. I do it by subject line only and
I click the star of the ones I'm interested in
(also helps avoid the troll posts as I'm pretty
sure you can't filter).
It has other nice features and I think now I
actually prefer it to AOL's setup.
Hope you can use Google!

I hope you can use Google too, if not you might want to check out

I use a "free" news service (http://www.teranews.com/). They charge
something like $3 to sign up, but after that there is no charge. I subscribe
to a few groups and haven't hit the download limit yet.

Not to suggest I know anything about your situation, but you can buy some
pretty cheap new/used computers now a days.

Just make sure they will let you post. Most of the completely free servers
are read only.

About 5 of them allow posting as well as reading. The one I'm using now
allows posting.

Yes, me too, but there is a small setup fee after which it is free.
