To Kiraly: I sure hope my kids don't treat me that way when I get older. To the OP: Download MT-Newswatcher which is a very a good usenet client or use Thunderbird if you like the paneled look. Once you get that set up with your usenet server come back if you have any questions. -- m-m http://www.mhmyers.com

My troll-o-meter is at least wiggling, but the above does just beg for the obvious question of which stripe you claim to be in. -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain

He said his dad has never used usenet before, and he gave no indication that his dad was even interested in it at all. An "unless he's asked for it, I wouldn't bother" response seems entirely appropriate to me. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

Funny you should ask. I first started reading and posting to usenet in my first semester of college. It was September of 1993. From that point forward, everything went to pot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September -- K. Lang may your lum reek.
