I've switched to Toshiba laptops but still have the group on my list to

have the motherboard replaced and then started having problems again. I
think that it was overheating that killed it. The newer Toshibas seem
to run much cooler.

Thanks for correcting me, and my ISP Cox is closing access to newsgroup
on June 30th... I shall pay for outside service, as I live in the Usenet
and my www useage is Google search and maybe 20% of my computer time...

If you only need/want text newsgroups, eternal-september.org provides a
free Usenet service. I use it as a backup when my ISP news service is
doing maintenance. Like you I probably will lose my ISP provided service
in the near future.

months. Seems to work OK... Ben Myers
