Hmm... I think I might try NG when I get some spare time...I'm getting fed-up with outlook-depress's foibles (e.g. like the 'online/offline' option that does absoloutely nothing). By the way, speaking of Yaroze newsgroups... which ones are still frequently used these days? I was just looking at the full list of the Yaroze newsgroups and I only have a fraction of them enabled. They can't all be lively like this can they? ... well appart from one of the ones I look at (the Code Warrior one) which is absoulutely dead now. Cheers, Jon
