Google is an excellent archive for old messages going back to 1981. In
fact it is the only such archive. However it is not a good choice for
day-to-day reading of a newsgroup. For one thing posts are delayed for
hours. Second there is no way to keep track of posts you have already
read or to filter out unwanted messages.

Using your ISP's server is a better way, but there are other servers you
can use which may have better completion and retention. The best of
these for text groups is the free server sponsored by the Free
University of Berlin. See www.individual.net to set up a free account
and password.

Outlook Express is a news reader. A news reader is a program which
contacts the ISP's server and translates the information into a usable
form. There are many other news readers. I use Agent www.forteinc.com .

Yes, you can go through Google (Google Groups - http://groups.google.com )
but it's a PITA. I access it through a (free) German news server with the
OE newsreader. I *could* use my ISP instead of the German server, but my
ISP's news server's service isn't nearly as good. I only use Google Groups
on the rare occcasion when the server's down, or if I want to look up
something in the archives.

I wouldn't recommend using Google as a Usenet mainstay. There no way
to customize anything. Use your ISP's news service and I highly
recommend the Xnews program found at http://xnews.newsguy.com



Like we are going to listen to you regarding computer issues.

Maybe when it comes to "drilling".
