Grrrrr. Karen Hi Karen, I noticed a question from you on alt.binaries.pictures.animals where you asked if your photo of Pearl had appeared. I just thought I would let you know here -- in case you still can't see images on that newsgroup -- that Pearl's picture shows up on my ISP, and it is a beautiful photo. You have also had a number of messages posted there as a result of your question. MaryL |

... Newscene seems to have lost alt.binaries.pictures.animals. Grrrr. Tech support never responds anymore. I guess tonight I look for a new service for binary purposes. Grrrrr. I _almost_ ran into a a bigger problem yesterday night. I couldn't connect to my ISP's news server at all! I knew that they perform their periodical maintenance on Sunday nights, so I called them, and, yes, that was what was going on. All right, I went to bed. But this afternoon I still couldn't get in. Hmmm... I use Outlook Express as my news reader, and I looked at the details in the error message: 'Authentication required', it said. What? I have been subscribing to this ISP for more than two years, and I have never had any problem with athentication to the news server, but obviously, yesterday they found out "Let's scare the hell out of these stupid customers of ours, and see how many of them manages to put in a legal user name an password in the OE settings! Ha-ha!" I did, and now it works fine again, but I had some very confused hours before i figured it out... -- Hans |

Sympathize with your trouble. Rarely it's happened to me: but paying through
the nose for cable ISP, I don't send email - call their tech support/cust.svc. on phone (easy to do since cable doesn't use your phone line) and rave at them till they walk me through a solution, as they have all the answers, including the long-forgotten password access business for mail and newsgroups of all types. And yes, giganews does offer that binary...I never go to binaries, but did this time: the Black Pearl in profile is a beauty, indeed, at her window seat.

Grrrrr. Karen Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with Newscene. They were great for 3 years and in the last couple of months, things have gone severely downhill. I have set up the German newsserver and am getting many more posts per day on that one. Since I can't do binaries with my super slow connection anyway, I have decided to cancel Newscene at the end of the month and save myself $17.95 CDN. I hope you figure out what's going on with them or find a better server that does binaries. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |
