Oh a tree in motion! by
Big Monkey Man
What gets me is that Helen Shapiro! 'Walking Back to Happiness' starts off
great, then turns into something by a middle-aged male Jewish wide boy -
say, Michael Winner. Oyvay! She obviously had a lovely singing voice but was
managed by someone only interested in the width. And Smokey Robinson's...

No Name
What is Happening?
This message is to inform you that Microsoft will soon begin discontinuing
newsgroups and transitioning users to Microsoft forums.

new entry in context menu gone by
Michael Romes
A while after installing new video drivers I noticed that the "new"
entry in my context menu (that which appears if I rightclick in a
folder) is gone.
When using Google I find a lot of articles about adding that entry to
Windows98SE by editing the registry - but I found nothing specific to...

T-6... by
Noel Paton[_3_]
....and counting.
To all the friends I've made (and even to some I've unmade) in these forums,
Goodbye, Good Luck - and see you on the flipside!
I am now using the NNTP Bridge (both of them!) to access the Answers and MS
forums. It's buggy, but it's still better than 'naked' access in terms of...

Slow PC by
Jerry
Slow PC (Windows Me)
Having an intermediate skill level for PCs, I employ the common maintenance
practices to keep my PC operating smoothly. Often I get flyers in the mail
from PC groups offering their services. One of their services is to fix a
slow operating PC.
Short of reformatting and...

T-4.... Backup time! by
Noel Paton[_3_]
Ladies and Gents.
Depending on how MS cut us off, and the NNTP client you use, you may
suddenly find that you have NO newsgroups in your reader when it happens.
So now would be a good time to back up your message store if you want to
keep the priceless gems you've garnered over the last...

Red flag from the WWOTN! by
Heirloom[_3_]
Hi All,
Wow, I go away for a few days and the crazy Canuck tells me the Me forum
is going to disintegrate with the rest, bummer. Before it dies completely,
I must say that I have enjoyed conversing with each and every one of you.
I know I have never been as much help on the technical stuff...

tap, tap This thing working? by
Noel Paton[_3_]
Just checking, in case MS had a fit and cut us off at the knees a day early

AFAIK, there's still no 9x support forums whatsoever - at least in English

still working by
Motor T
So far, so good. I'm reading and posting through nntp.aioe.org. Don't
know how long it will last. It's sad the way this world seems to work.
As we get older the younger generations seem to cast us aside. It
appears they think of us as 'irrelevant, obsolete'. I'm beginning to
hate those...

Final reminder curiosity by
Moldy Cheese
I'm curious about something. Checking the headers in the
"reminder" messages from Microsoft, in the earlier messages
the NNTP-Posting-Host was
tide548.microsoft.com 131.107.0.118. In the "final
reminder" message the NNTP-Posting-Host is
c-24-22-159-236.hsd1.wa.comcast.net 24.22.159.236.
