Newsgroups

12Mar07

Ok – I have managed to set up a public newsreader on Outlook – it definitely took me awhile to figure that out – I thought the public readers were something I had to download, like the telnet or FTP tasks. Then I thought I needed to call my ISP and ask them for a number. Ahhh talk about drive me nuts!! Anyhow, I went to newzbot and typed the server into Outlook….low and behold, it worked.
I have now subscribed to a group. So far it looks alot like a discussion board, except delivered to my email account. I’ll watch it for a few days, but I have to say, with the effort required to set it up I’m not a fan…..
