-
- Frankly, the best way I know of to read news is to have NNTPxfer run by a
- CRON driver, downloading your news to local HD every so often, then run
- GRn 2.1 in LOCAL mode, reading news from your HD.
-
- Use NewPostNewsSpool to reply offline, and spool up your replies, or reply
- online, it doesn't matter which.
-
- Blab blab blab on IRC while the CRON app tells NNTPxfer to grab all the new
- articles, then at your leisure start GRn .. read at a LIGHTNING fast pace
- from your local HD and either send out your replies HOT or spool them if you
- are offline, and send them all at once next time you login.
-
- As a matter of fact, I'm spooling these replies now; I'll prolly send the
- "sendnews" command in the morning after I recover from the New Year's Eve
- party I'm going to hit this evening.
-
- This ain't rocket science .. it's the Amiga :)
