LOL.  No excuse.  I like old hardware, but that doesn't mean I use it for
real work.
My hand cranked drills are to show my grandchildren. My 18V battery drive

Ed. When you type in all caps it looks like you've been owned. Can you tone
it down so we know it is real mail.

Nicely done!

Not exactly Windows (more like Linux) but it's what I use ON Windows

I'm going to count it.

Re: OT: Newsreader for Windows

[Kevin Bowling via cctalk]

You can make a pretty nice native command line environment on Windows with
“Windows Terminal” from Microsoft and the Chocolatey package manager (which
is like homebrew for Mac or similar to apt for Debian).  There is also WSL
which lets you run a native Linux distro in a fairly integrated way.  If
you are into all that tin might be a good choice.

Otherwise I have had good luck with Thunderbird as a Usenet client on any
platform it is available.

Regards,
Kevin

I kind of wrote my own.  I sign my BBS up to the usenet groups I want to
read and it treats them like message boards...
