I prefer mailing lists to news for everyday reading anyways.  That way
I don't miss any posts, and don't have to rely on my newsserver
keeping a bunch of old messages.  Wish I knew how to use the
".forward" mail mechanism though.  Got procmail, and a setup file for
it, it looks simple enough, but don't know how to use .forward.  :o(

Hope someone starts up the comp.os.* heirarchy so we're not stuck with
alt.*.  What C compiler & assembler is OpenDOS compiled with?  I hope
it is one that I have!  In fact, I hope it is one that I have, and
that it is called DJGPP!

Microsoft products are the best! Microsoft consistently produces
software that is far superior to competitors products.  Microsoft is
the industry leader in quality software.  Windows '9x will destroy all
hopes in the free software world.
