Anybody having trouble getting to or seeing rec.woodworking.]



I have two different servers and neither one:



teranews or eternal-september.org seems to have it available.



Looked in on eternal-september this am w/ no discernible problems. They do have occasional slowdowns or apparently some uptime issues but rarely more than a couple hours. Sundays do seem to be perhaps maintenance I've noticed but didn't see any disruption yesterday when checked...

On news.planet.nl: alt.biaries.pictures.woodworking alt.binaries.rustic-woodworkers free.uk.woodworking net.crafts.woodworking.general rec.woodworking

Must be a delay of some sort...

Thanks..

eternal-september has it on my system.

Works just fine from: Google >> groups >> rec.woodworking.

Can someone please explain why newsreaders are even necessary? What's the point in having multiple servers? You buy a computer, get a phone line with DSL, sign in for a Google account and you're off and running. Even AOL is free now. Mystified...

Aye, still showing up here, anyway.

Does that mean you don't like it, Smitty?

Don't use Windoze, tried Eternal September a while back and saw no reason to continue, Google to Groups to alt.home.repair and other groups is a 2 sec DL. So what am I missing? Still curious.

Joe

Thanks for the kind words. Might be time to check out other options. Suggestions for iMac welcome.

Back when I was using a Mac, I used Hogwasher for quite a while, and it's still around:

But then, it's often said that the secret to using computers is figuring out the proper wrench to pound in the screw.
