One note of caution though - do not post files
to a newsgroup as it is considered bad 'netiquette' and nobody
will open them anyway for fear of a virus. Put your question
into words, post it and then simply wait for someone to help
you.
One of the reasons that newsgroups get bad coverage is because
of some of the more distasteful groups that are out there.
Avoid any group with alt.binaries in it and you won't go far
wrong. It would be a real shame if a few bad apples spoiled
an otherwise excellent resource.
The easiest way to access newsgroups is through your email
client, such as Outlook Express or Netscape Messenger, but
if you want to search the stings for something specific to
your question then Google has a site that archives all the
questions and answers that get posted at www.groups.google.com.
just like a search engine, you put in words to narrow down
your search. |
