Getting The Word Out
I was thinking some of us should put info about connecting
to rec.aquaria.marine.reefs on our web sites, to let more people know about this. I got started on just that. Here is what I got so far: http://waynesallee.com/newsgroup.htm Wayne Sallee Wayne's Pets |

Well done, my laugh for the day :) I can't say why I prefer newsgroups to forums, maybe because I'm on dialup and newsgroups are faster. I don't have my fish on my website yet 'coz all I've got is a tank of live rock so far but your idea is great and I hope a few do it. Cheers miskairal |

Hi Wayne,
For those of your readers whose ISP's have no Usenet capability there is the option of reading groups via Google. Here's a link for your website: http://groups.google.com/intl/en/goo...ups/about.html I use this myself because I didn't think to check before switching to Netscape - My bad! Google access is no substitute for a full Usenet feed but it does work reasonably well. Newsily yours, Alex |

Yea it just isn't the same, but it is great for searching
old postings. Google has gmail, and you can now use pop 3 with gmail. Maybe google will eventualy let people connect via regular newsgroup software one day.

Cheers miskairal Are you from South Africa? -- Kind Regards Cameron No, Oz, but I've heard the dialup can be slow in SA as well. I think it's quite expensive too, is that right? I'm 7.9km from the exchange which is not ADSL enabled anyway so I will never get ADSL or cable. ISDN leaves you with no phone line when the power is out and we live out of town with no mobile phone reception so that is not an option (we're on the end of a power line so have to be able to let the power company know if the power is out here). Satellite is above my budget right now - well, I guess I could do it if I wasn't setting up a sal****er tank :) |

I have adsl at work and dial up at home. Dial up is cheap, about R75pm, adsl depending on the size cap you want ranges from R350 up to about R800. -- Kind Regards Cameron |

Netscape will let you read the newsgroup easily. I did that for years.
I'm using Mozilla's Thunderbird now. I have ramr listed on my site as a source to commmunicate about the hobby.

I have a great search engine on my site. It is on the Hidden Treasure
page. But I'm going to have to move to a new hosting company, and they won't have the same one unfortunately.

Sometimes I get a good dialup connection sometimes I don't. I happen to be reading a novel set in Africa at the moment written by an Aussie who lived there for 20 years or more. I'm thoroughly enjoying it and hope to travel there one day. |

And so you should, it's beautiful over here, and the climate here in SA is very similar to OZ. I live inland (Johannesburg) so if you're ever in the neighborhood give me a shout :) -- Kind Regards Cameron |

It won't be until at least 2007 though so hang out in this newsgroup until then :) |
