info from there in the past. Recently when I try to access the group, my computer goes berserk! Any suggenstions? I have unsubscribed & re upped but with the same dishartening results. TIA, Nana |

That way I was more likely to get someone who had a lot of experience. -- Paul (Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

Try using something like XNews instead. It's a lot more adapted to nntp than netscape, outlook or other Mail clients ever will be. -- ===Anti Spam Petition=====(^^)================================= == Check who is spamming 100% and ask your server to remove them from their spool. Source: http://newsadmin.com/cgi-bin/newsspam1 Can't do it. It takes me about a year to get used to new stuff and that includes newer versions of netscape. :O( -- Paul (This is really happening, happening) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

On the other hand, I still, after 10 years in the business cannot get used to how backwards Outlook is. Nor Netscape since AOL bought them out. I was an OE user for a while and it bit the big one, very badly, some files got screwed up and barring a complete windows reinstall nothing would bring it back. I installed a couple of browsers etc to try and couldn't get my head round any of them until I used this netscape. By the time a kind person got on top of the problem and showed me how to extract relevant files etc for OE fix I was hooked on netscape. i can't even use new versions of the prog, and believe me I've tried. -- Paul (This is really happening, happening) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |
