Many people don't even know what usenet is - and have never heard of newsgroups. It's a shame -- http://bit.ly/daWnEe

You can use MacSOUP's default settings file feature, from page 7 of MacSOUP's Manual: "make an alias of the settings file, name it "MacSOUP Default Settings" and put it in the preferences folder "~/Library/Preferences". MacSOUP will then use this settings file by default." -- Tommaso

IIRC, I read a headline recently about someone bringing Marathon back? -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR |
