- Do it. Do it now. Every minute you delay subtracts unneccessarily from
- the life expectancy of your disk arms as well as wasting many millions of
- CPU cycles that could be doing something that helps humanity in some way.
-
- There are *NO* problems with INN. It works, it works well, it works fast.
- It installs easily. It is manageable. It can push netnews through your
- system like s**t through a goose. Get it. Install it. Use it. "rm -rf"
- all your B-News, C-News and NNTP sources.
-
- Prepare to be impressed.
