- Yes! I would like to have this newsgroup. I've owned a PowerBook 100 since
- May 1992, and while I'm generally very pleased with it, I was NOT pleased
- when it went out of commission and took three months to repair under
- warranty. Besides that, I am always on the lookout for ways to improve the
- meagre 4MB memory and 40MB disk space, which are always running out before
- I know it.
-
- Lastly, does anyone know of news reader software that enables me to
- download *all* messages in my subscribed newsgroups, and read them offline?
- Surely this is something required by many users of mobile machines?
