Guess I'm one of those "parent's generation people". I don't know
anything about usenet- but if there's more info and less junk, I'd sure
like to.
Can someone enlighten me about what usenet is and how to use it? Best to
do it here front channel since I'm sure there are lots of others who
haven't a clue either.
Thanks-
Susan
