I hate Google and want to come back. Can anyone suggest a ng reader that's free and easier to read than Google?

Hi Deramweaver

My UK ISP dropped usenet last year so as I knew I hated Google Groups I
went to http://www.aioe.org/ which was really easy to set up and then it
worked as soon as I connected my PC to the internet here in State
College PA after moving across he pond.

OK, what program do you use for your email? I use Thunderbird, so that
is the one I can help with most easily, but I'll have a shot at helping
you if you use something else.

I, too, couldn't see what to do - only had one quick try as I was pushed
for time... I do use Thunderbird, so I will be most grateful too.

Pity my son is back off to sea in the morning. I am with Thunderbird and
he sorted me out with Aioe news.

How are you doing across the pond Lizzy?

In my current version of Thunderbird:

From the menu bar select Tools-Account Settings

At the bottom left of the Account Settings window click on the button
marked "Account Actions" and select "Add Other Account".

The New Account Setup window should automatically have "Newsgroup
cccount" as the selected option.

Click Next

Fill in your screen name in the "Your Name" box and your email address
in the "Email Address" box

Click Next

In the Newsgroup Server box type news.aioe.org

Click Next

If everything looks correct click Finish, then click OK in the Account
Settings window.

news.aioe.org should now appear in bold in the left hand side of your
main Thunderbird window

Right click on that bold news.aioe.org and select Subscribe...

Wait a few moments for the list of newsgroups to appear in the list

Type quilting in the box marked "Show items that contain:" and
rec.craft.textiles.quilting will appear in the box below. Click in the
little square by rctq so that it is ticked and then click OK.

rctq should now appear under the bold news.aioe.org
click on rctq and the new messages should appear in your message list
(just like your emails do).

Read & enjoy.

Hope that helps

Lizzy

I use Pan, which is compatible with Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
OpenSolaris, OSX Macs, and Windows.

It is very easy to use and install.

I am using Linux, so if you are too I might could help you sort it out.
If you are using Windows or one of the others I have no clue, but I can't
imagine it can be much if any harder than getting it running on Linux.

For email I use Outlook.com. I also use Chrome on Windows 7.

Thanks for the help,
