      From: matthewmpower@gmail.com              > That's so typical Google - killing services at a whim.              I read Google's statement on why, and I do understand. Usenet is absolutely       full of spam, and the binaries are all basically illegal copies of content.       Legitimate content certainly does struggle against the tidal waves of garbage.              > Maybe it's a chance. Let the (nerdy) world know that csa2 exists and how       > to connect to it. (from either old or new devices)              I was thinking that too. Has anyone who uses the other online Apple II sites       ever written about "Check out csa2 on Usenet"? I don't believe I've ever seen       such a mention. It could be mentioned that EternalSeptember is free, and there       are some free        clients out there. On my Windows machine I have GrabIt, which is free and       works pretty good. Maybe an artice on some popular forum "All About       comp.sys.apple2 and How to Participate for Free"              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
