Why do you seem to hate them? Yes, I'd been wondering the same thing. You've been wondering why it took Tim so long to reply to my direct question to him - or you're wondering why I "hate" Maternal September? I don't hate ES. I just don't know why you're adding additional complications for someone who is finding it impossible to experience usenet using anything other than google gropes. Ever heard of the KISS concept? In this case, keeping-it-simple means pointing someone to the easiest-to-use usenet server, which AIOE is. Robert - why do you enjoy this pain that you put yourself through? Why don't you install one of the old versions of Netscape Communicator that I gave you a link to in my last post? Every year you complain about your usenet experience, and every year you utterly ignore my advice. Do you subconciously not want to solve your usenet problem? |

Check out Thunderbird (www.mozilla.org/thunderbird) or Agent (www.forteinc.com/agent) or google for a newsreader. Opera has an Email client as well as a web browser. That still doesn't make it a newsreader, although many products combine email and NNTP clients. I'm know very little about Opera myself. I use Firefox mostly, Chrome a bit and IE just about not at all. Pegasus for mail and Agent for news. Thunderbird is an Email client, not a Newsreader. I don't use Opera either, but it is no less a NNTP using Email client than Thunderbird. -- __ __ #_ |\| | _# |

Thunderbird does both email and newsgroups. I know. If my interpretation of your post is correct, you indicate that Opera is not particularly designed for Usenet, as it adds the function as a feature of the Email client. Therefore it is less desirable. However the same applies to Thunderbird. So I don't understand why you suggested this as a Usenet client to switch to when, as I posted, there is a range of free Newsreaders to choose from. -- __ __ #_ |\| | _# |

news "hot-text" wrote: news.aioe.org no login needed But there are restrictions on what you can do. See their web page, www.aioe.org. Looks like most people should be able to live with the restrictions, but... Eternal-september is also free, and has fewer restrictions. But you do need to register. I'm amazed that either exists, to tell the truth. Somebody out there is putting time and money into keeping these things going, and getting nothing in return. THANK YOU! For no restrictions time to pay for it............. Why is Giganews the World's Best Usenet Provider? http://www.giganews.com/ |

From what little experience I have, Thunderbird is acceptable for usenet. And Outlook Express is a lot better than some people make out: I'd seriously consider it if only because of the likelihood of finding someone else if you have problems (less so now it's getting long in the tooth, I suppose).
