news server

Newsguy.com. platform independent, $60/yr, iirc. (more if you want more than just reading newsgroups.)

We've been using it forever (since before it was Newsguy).

Ours did the same thing last year, and there was way to continue it, even at a cost. It was gone on the date specified.

DS signed me up for gmail on all my sewing groups and so far, so good.

I use it on both the H-P Windows laptop and on the Apple desktop.

I usually just lurk here, but I highly recommend eternal september -

freenews . netfront . net Is free ; has some binary groups ; but adds a little tagline to your posts. I've used it since last year when my ISP dropped usenet. If you are not interested in binary groups - there are probably a few other free servers that are better. Good luck. John T.

P.S. Ignore the P.S. I just sent you privately. ;-}

I'm replying to my own note because I didn't ask him what server he used to get the gmail up and running. I should not have posted in haste, I really did not have all the correct information. Sorry! Emily

I'm very happy for you, Sharon!
