Update: Microsoft usenet (NNTP) server status
Microsoft removed 43 newsgroups from their server during the first week of July, and 1515 groups in early June. They have removed no groups (yet?) in August. Their server is still carrying 214 newsgroups - and a strange and arcane assortment if you ask me. |

Interesting and the Windows 98 General newsgroup was only one of 43 removed in July despite requests that it be spared until at least October |

Come on now, and get with the program! Hardly the reason why they closed the groups...I assume you're joking...and you can't "upgrade" from Win98 to Win7 either. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ |
