It depends on the previous experience of the user. Since I deal with computers all the time, I realize there's more to the world than what AOL shows you. As a matter of fact, I often use Netscape to search for stuff while using AOL just for the internet connection.

Can anyone explain to me if it's possible to access this newsgroup from AOL or FreeInternet? This newsgroup has so much info and I'd hate to lose access to it. Thanks for your help.

U can access it through AOL

I put a lot of it back on AOL -- in many ways, I think they encourage that belief, and they CERTAINLY do nothing to introduce their members (captives?) to any of the wonders and power of the 'net short of their own content. I signed up with them years ago as a beginner, and couldn't believe what I had been missing when I finally got a little smarter and more sophisticated. The lameness of their search capability alone is reason enough to leave them, IMO. Kurt

Eldred, I'm the same way. I now know how to view this newsgroup through AOL. But, I always start up Netscape for dual surfing capabilties. Cya, Richard P.S. Time for me to see if I can get under 14 min at the 'Ring! :-)
