JR the postman I think that the world is moving away from usenet groups, toward vendor-specific forums, many of them moderated. For me, it's a pain in the ass to go to each vendor's forum on the web. usenet is so much more convenient... Ben Myers |

Sporger - has ruined this Gateway newsgroup
There are still a few of us that monitor this newsgroup and I am sure if
we had a problem there would be an answer, just not a lot to say unless you have a question regarding your Gateway. I am using a Gateway at the present time and would buy another one if this one died. I have had zero computer related problems. Anything that happened was software related and the dummy behind the keys. I see Ben replied to you also and he is a fountain of knowledge! He helped me several times. Thanks again Ben.

Anything that happened was software related and the dummy behind the keys. I've had 3 Gateways, and never had to call them for service. Whatever problems [ignorance] I needed solved, I came here and always found the answer. No hardware failures, except Mother Nature induced [lightning]. I see Ben replied to you also and he is a fountain of knowledge! He helped me several times. Thanks again Ben. My thanks too, to Ben and everyone who's helped me over the years. I hope you hang around, because I'll be here until they turn the lights out.

Sporger - has ruined this Gateway newsgroup
I've switched to Toshiba laptops but still have the group on my list to
synch. My first laptop was a Gateway and I liked it a lot but had 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. |

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... I do answer questions once day a week on Yahoo Answers, surprised about the general low mentality in the computer question section, but I decided to attempt to share a bit of my knowledge there... Cox Communications income was up in 2009, but they need to shut down to reduce cost...Internet profit is apparently not good enough... http://www.pbn.com/detail/49376.html JR the postman |

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. bj |

I've been using Giganews even before my ISP closed their servers which were
abysmal, it used to be $7.99 a month for the lowest tier, then when all the ISPs started dumping Usenet, they lowered the rate to $2.99 a month. To me it's well worth it, it's run professionally, always available, perfect completion, long retention.
