   I buy my Usenet from individual.net (University of Berlin) for 10   
   euros per year.  There are a few free usenet providers (I remember   
   Eternal September, but there are others).   
      
   Don't go for Google.  It's a never ending frustration, and the only   
   reason to use it is if you're using computers that you are not   
   permitted to install software on.  (eg library or at work.)
