Well.........I had trouble getting the Verizon news reader squared away. It was working for a while last night but after I closed it to eat dinner and tried to reopen it in Outlook Express, I couldn't even locate it at all. I'm now trying a different reader on a trial period basis; and I thought computers were supposed to make ones life easier. HA!

I do have the standard MS Outlook on my MS Office toolbar and know I can access that. Problem is, I can't seem to find a way to access newsgroups with it. Does anyone know how I can read configure it to go through the Verizon news to read the newsgroups?

Back to being only a handful out of more than fifty today. Yesterday some of my posts from 1/7/05 finally appeared.

I wonder f these cretins are intentionally dumping posts to force as many people as possible to dump aol before they do away with newsgroup access?

Nah! They're not that bright.

I would not be at all surprised. Even though I've been with AOL since

1992, once I get my newsgroup reader and get my verizon e-mail set-up squared away, I will probably drop them.

s*it can that crap. get the nx201.zip. in the options, use news.verizon.net. you'll figure the rest easily. it will retrieve all the groups then you're home free.
