Nevermind.

I just realized what you said. Your ISP won't carry usenet anymore, so how can you get it.

Google groups is the only way I can think of, and (like you say) its pretty poor. But its free.

Also try installing "free.yottanews.com" which is a very comprehensive free Usenet provider. Sometimes it takes a while to get on due to traffic (after all it is free and you get what you pay for ;-)) but it does carry all postings to ABPO and RGO. Just tried it on my computer and posts are current.

This is what 3 folks at the murder mystery news group use

There's a murder mystery ng? Hmm!

You might want to look at databasix.com. One of the guys there, Gary Burnore, was providing free access to their USENET feed a few years ago. Warning, Gary is a bit of a net.k00k, and attracts a following of other net.k00ks.

You can also access watered down USENET via google groups.

I've been considering providing unix shell accounts for a few folks, but I'm in the midst of moving the wife and step kids. I swear a move of 5 miles is a bigger PITA than a move from 40 miles way...

Well Chris if it were a long distance everything would have to be packed and 'professionally moved', since it is just across town, you can jut take stuff in the car......

Always much more work. You should have seen it when our neighbors moved across the street. Too close to even use the car. SuE

And what a mistake it is to move even across the street without getting a truck. My folks did that back in '69. What a lot of work.
