I won't be here much, anymore.
I have another computer now, which was given to me, by a very, very
nice person Unfortunately, I did something to it, and the software I have used to access Usenet since 1998, stopped working. It worked last night, and now it doesn't. I don't know what I did. I think computers just hate me. Trying to use Google Groups is like having a root canal done without Novocaine. It's impossible to find new posts in a thread, or responses to posts you have made in a thread. And there are a LOT of spam posts. If and when I can get my other computer working, I should have 'real' access again, But my brother, who built the computer, and fixed it for me, is VERY mad at me. It's a long ugly story I don't want to go into now. He hasn't spoken to my elderly,and very ill Mother, since 1995. Basically, he's REALLY an ass****. And, that's an insult to other ass***** the wold over. I can get E-mail, and look for work, which is what is really important. I guess. I will try to stop by sometimes, but anyone who has used Google Groups knows how difficult and time consuming it is. I can only spend so much time sitting at my computer, before I have to take a break, because my back hurts so much. And it just keeps getting worse....from sitting at my computer for too long, every day. Lorelei says meep! Tom |

Tom, PLEASE don't give up and leave us..call the company that the nice
person gave you and they can talk you through your problems. srsly. Mine crashed the other day and Dutch, who was a computer analyst for 25 years called Comcast and they helped him with my problem and it got fixed, Computers can be very touchy. It might be something simple. Call the manufacturer of the computer and get someone on the phone who can help you, Google groups suck IMO. but they are better than nothing. Google drives meh up the wall. Bah!! I feel your pain. As for your brother, it was nice of him to fix your other one, but not speaking to your elderly mother is shameful IMO. "Some people have issues, others have a lifetime subscription"...that sounds like your brother. I can relate to having your back hurt from sitting at the computer for too long, because when I sit for too long, my knees lock up on me, so we can commiserate together. You are ALWAYS welcome to e-mail me. and you have my phone # My kitties sai meep back to Lorelei Take it easy and TRY not to stress, everything will work out, Your friend Kyla "Gandalf" I have another computer now, which was given to me, by a very, very nice person Unfortunately, I did something to it, and the software I have used to access Usenet since 1998, stopped working.

What are you using for email? A web interface or a regular email
program like Thunderbird or Outlook? Since Cox shut down newsgroup access, I've been using Thunderbird and eternal-September.org for newsgroup access. Can't get binary groups (I miss a.b.p.a.), but you can't beat the cost...free. Thunderbird can sort by thread, show only new content, etc., so it might be able to do the job for you, and that way you can keep us up to date on how you and Lorelei are doing... Pretty sure the group techno-brain can figure out how to get you back to real access. I take it you aren't getting any error messages or anything that might help figure out why your access has failed?
