....but how in the world do I use a "newsreader"? I've been reading
rec.audio.pro for three years now and I normaly do so by checking the
posts each day via the Google archives. About once a year I decide
that I'm going to download a newsreader program like Agent (now for
the third or fourth time in three years) and then I proceed to rip my
hair out while attempting to set it up properly. No matter who I call
or email I cannot get any answers about how to set up this newsreader
thing and it isn't making the slightest bit of sense to me. Any FAQ's
I read tell me the information I need is available from the same
people that later tell me they have no idea what I'm talking about and
have never heard of anything such as I'm trying to accomplish.
Seriously. I'm beginning to suspect that I am the stupidest man that
ever lived. This is incredibly frustrating and I'm getting nowhere.
Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can figure out
what is going on? Keeping in mind that other than checking my hotmail
account each day I am completely computer illiterate and I will need
to have someone dumb it down to about the first grade level. Thanks in
advance for your help. Oh yeah, if anyone can indeed help me please
reply to my email address as there appears to be a problem with
Googles archives and they haven't updated since the 27th. Thanks.
