Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2008Update for Jill
I emailed Jill (in the Carolinas caring for her elderly parents), and all the bad weather missed both her home, her brothers, and the vet's where Persia and Peaches are currently boarded. The storms that rolled through Arkansas also missed her LLL, John. She has not received her new laptop yet, and hates Google Groups (no filtering/hiding read messages/plonking), and was wondering if there were any *GOOD* free newsreaders (she will be activating her NIN account from where she is). She is still going next door to her parent's and using their computer (and loving on their cat, so hopefully Persia gets some of those vibes in absentia).

Yes use Xnews it is from newsguy.com and it is a lot better the google groups and windows mail and you can filter out all google groupers, which i dont do in this fine group because the trolls don`t show up too much, tell jill to do a google search on it > I emailed Jill (in the Carolinas caring for her elderly parents), and all > the bad weather missed both her home, her brothers, and the vet's where [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > -- I use Pan newsreader (Windows version at http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/0.14.2/WINDOWS/). Until she gets her NIN account set up there, aioe.org provides a pretty useable news server that's free to access. >> I emailed Jill (in the Carolinas caring for her elderly parents), and >> all the bad weather missed both her home, her brothers, and the vet's [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Until she gets her NIN account set up there, aioe.org provides a > pretty useable news server that's free to access. The problem with them is that you can only post 25 posts a day and i dont know how much jill posts or is in other groups. > The problem with them is that you can only post 25 posts a day > and i dont know how much jill posts or is in other groups. Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Since I only use them for my once-in-a-very-great-while posts to alt.sysadmin.recovery I've never run into that limit (I probably post 4 or 5 messages a year there).

Limiting me to 25 posts a day is like saying I can only breathe 4 hours out of 24 ;) There are some days when I don't post anything at all, anywhere. Other days I can't seem to *not* find something to either post as a new topic or reply to, and then reply to the replies to my reply!

From what I can tell most of the damage in west Tennessee was in small towns around the Memphis area, not in Memphis proper. (I don't live in Memphis itself but it would be considered a suburb rather than a town.)

ROFL Jill, if you don't find a free server, you can use http://www.forteinc.com/apn/index.php for 30 days as on a trial basis. I signed up for their 30 day trial period when I upgraded my newsreader (Forte Agent), and there was no problem with them trying to charge me when the trial period was over. In fact, they only sent one email asking if I wanted to continue with them. I didn't read it since it was automatically dumped into the spam folder and I wasn't keeping track of the date. I discovered the trial period had ended when all of a sudden I couldn't download new headers one night.

It has a Vista interface, but it's still XP based.

Some people debate whether or not Mozilla Thunderbird is a newsreader or not, but I've always liked it both for email and news. For email it can handle multiple email accounts. And I like the feature that it makes thin dotted lines in the ng thread so one can better follow who replied to whom... and one can filter/killfile too, sort stuff, choose to not download more than or older than or bigger than so and so messages... etc. http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/ SignatureChristine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com >I emailed Jill (in the Carolinas caring for her elderly parents), and all >the bad weather missed both her home, her brothers, and the vet's where [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > their computer (and loving on their cat, so hopefully Persia gets some of > those vibes in absentia).
