man...you made me feel old...I wonder how many people here today don't know about usenet simply because they came along after that was the "big thing" online after the old Bulletin Board days...as the every-man's option for getting "online".

Come to think of it, where I once used the good old usenet for all my tech support needs, I haven't even looked at them in a number of years. Too much background noise...you know just like the way the web is heading these days.
