Hi Gamgee,

Yes, it's disappointing, but been that way for years now. I used
to use Usenet a lot, and still do some, but it's dropped off
dramatically. I think some of the "binaries" groups are still
active, but I don't use them myself.

One quite fine nntp feed is the one from grc.com (Security Now). There are very intelligent and knowledgible folks sharing info and helping others there. I've learned about some fine programs and hardware reading that group.

Thanks... connected and will setup on the hub as a gateway for this.

Basically, but if you know what you're looking for sometimes you can
find some good stuff :

rec.arts.drwho comp.infosystems.gopher
comp.sys.cbm

Are quite active still...

I'd add the following for good info, help and tips:

alt.comp.os.windows

Good shout, although mine doesn't carry the alt.comp.os.windows group, it does carry the
ones for Win XP, 8, and 10 which are equally as good :)

Hi Kevin,

I'd add the following for good info, help and tips:

alt.comp.os.windows

I actually meant this one:

alt.comp.os.windows-10
