- I, for one, am glad that there is *any* netnews support at all! I'm more
- glad that Alistair hints that we may be getting more attention. Personally,
- I found it difficult to muck around in CompuserveLand. I can't browse
- quickely and easily. Not like with a good news reader (trn is my current
- favorite).

- Speaking of FAQ, this should be checked by ANYONE new to this group. I've

- Thanx, Alistair. I think that sometimes working with Beta, or
- pre-Beta software, documentation, etc. can make some of us (ME!) kinda
- edgey. I've got a program mgr on my back wanting the net to work on

- starts with it.
-
- Hang in there, everyone. The Sept. release is just around the corner (or
- so they tell me!).
