But it's not that bad now....I - know my way around and all, better than nothing. - If I didn't have usenet I think I would have withdrawls. ;-) For this Next Generation of Personal Computer [PC] Internet Users* who know nothing of the UseNet; and only know Google Groups, YouTube, FaceBook etc. * Google Groups -is- "Google Groups" it's what you do. An ISP can not make any Money of of UseNet by simply providing it as a 'service'. Eliminating UseNet and allowing Newsgroup Access via Google-Groups with Paid Advertising may provide some Income {Money} to the ISP directly or indirectly. Plus all the former UseNet web-traffic is now funneled via Google Groups Servers and this may un-burden the ISP of some utility functions. the modern day 'internet' is about business and profits while the 'www-usenet' was a service ~ RHF |

Gary de Bock wrote in his review: "The SRF-39FP is no longer in production, but it does regularly show up on eBay from a cagey Florida seller, who always seems to put out new stock after insisting that his supply is gone. The price is generally $19.95 plus shipping, and represents a true bargain for DX enthusiasts wanting the best performing analog showpiece in the Ultralight radio stable." There's an excellent overview of these little radio's at: http://www.dxer.ca/component/option,...,96/Itemid,77/ Personnally I favour a digital ultralight, but i must admit the little analogue SRF-39 is fun and very challenging. Delivers the goods though. ____________________________ On another tack thanks to Bob Grimes for rushing to my defense as usual.

Have you looked at the free accounts on teranews or giganews? Use real newsreaders and not have to wade through all the carp in Google Groups.. |

Maybe I am wading through and don't know it. ;-) Is teranews and giganews free? I remember checking for newsgroup readers three years ago but I just wasn't going to pay for something that is provided for free. |

These are usenet providers, not readers. I use Outlook Express, and have no problems. I believe Mozilla also has a newsreader that would be free, as do several others. |
