Despite the badmouth Google Groups actually works quite well.

I can read all of the articles I haven't seenb before very quickly
with a read NNTP reader - by just using spacebar, "k", and "n".

google is about 10 times slower or more.

It typically loads and refreshes in 4-5 seconds over a 45K dialup
link.


I am using Giganews, and most messages pop up before I can let up on
the mouse button. Also, I can read the entire day's new messages
offline. I can sync my news reader and take it with me on a laptop,
then post the replies when I get home.
