My ISP (COX.net) has notified me that on June 30, 2010, they will
discontinue usenet service.........Bummer! What newsgroup service do you guys suggest I subscribe to? I want to obtain not only regular newsgroups such as this one but also BINARY newsgroups (groups that transmit text AND images?) I live in Southern California USA. Bob Williams |

Motz. is now eternal-september.org - fabulous, but text only. Cost is 0. It barfs on me usually a couple times a week, I can't log in for hours at a time & it wipes out my saved password & login :-( No binaries either which is fine with me. I wouldn't pay for binaries, never use them but I guess I'd pay for more consistent text service. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

Bob Williams You get what you pay for. Free Usenet servers can be useful but they don't compare to a paid service. Giganews can't be beat if you don't mind the monthly bill. |
