- Sorry but I don't think you have it! There is no need to set up Thor twice!
- I have just one system on my copy of Thor (v2.22) (**Unregistered**) (still)
-
- If you want to get the news just select the 'Get Conflist' under the Events
- Menu Item and the next time you hook up to your news server you'll get all the
- conferences up there. Then you can 'Join' one or two of 'em (I'm up on 12 of
- 'em).
