   learn a tremendous amount from CSA2's immediate answers and also it's decades

   of a future-proof    
   community? Is it more searchable than the Facebook groups? What brings you

   I read eight newsgroups regularly.   
   When I check my email with Thunderbird it not only shows my email but   
   displays the newsgroups that have new posts.  Easy.   
      
   If I had eight different sites to check then I have to do them   
   individually and I end up getting side tracked.   
      
   There are several Apple 2 related forums (not Facebook) that I   
   occasionally look at but again it's just easier to read CSA2.
