AOL Newsgroup service will be discontinued in early 2005.

Can anyone recommend another cruising newsgroup that I can subscribe to?
I usually use the google boards mostly to research past posts.

If AOL is discontinuing newsgroups you won't be able to get any other
cruising newsgroups either. They'll be deleting all of them.

Why not stick with r.t.c., but subscribe to a free news service like
news.individual.net (which Charles told me about).

http://news.individual.net/

Then use Outlook Express (which comes with all Windows computers) to read
your newsgroups.

They even give you instructions on how to configure Outlook Express to work
with their server at their website.

To me, Outlook Express is a VERY easy way to read newsgroups.

I agree with using news.individual.net, formerly known as the German
server. I disagree with using OE, Netscape or Mozilla are much safer
and easier to use. They have the browser and email bundled together.

I liked the older Netscape 4.8 But it was causing too many problems with
modern web pages. I don't care for Netscape 7.2, so I went with Internet
Explorer and Outlook Express. Since they're Microsoft, they tend to give me
the least trouble.

We have Thunderbird at work and I don't care for it.

I agree that after awhile netscape 4.8 didn't work with a lot of
websites. What is it that you don't like about netscape 7.2, that is
what I am using and it is fine.

I agree, Tom I have Outlook 6 and it is very easy to read and use.

By the way, now that we are using the Millie on MOAGC 2006, are you going to
come with us next February???
I am giving Celebrity another chance...you've got to be there to see it!!

The homepage?? We have it set up just the same as we did with netscape
4.8. I don't know much about setting this stuff up, Kevin does it for
us. If you want to mess around with it, I am sure Kevin would be glad
to help.

It would be worth the price of admission to see George and Becca on
Celebrity after all the negative comments Becca's made about Celebrity over
the years... (not unlike seeing me on another Carnival ship).

So, give Lori or George a call and book yourself a cabin(grin).
