Too much time on my hands.

He didn't ask why you read and post to usenet.

He asked why do you use google's web-based interface to read and post to
usenet.

Also now, Google is back to normal.

It is not "normal" for anyone to use google's web-based interface to
read and post to usenet.

I have a dedicated business computer from a client in my house
that I cannot put new programs on and often use Google groups.

So you don't have your own home computer? *You have to use a "client's"
computer at home? *Doesn't your client want his computer returned to
him? *What will you do then?

They are a PITA.

Your client, or Google?

If you need (or if you'd like) to have admin-level privleges on that
computer, look he

http://www.pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/
Offline Windows Password& *Registry Editor, Bootdisk / CD

That will allow you to reset or clear the admin password, allowing you
to log in as the system's administrator, which will allow you to do
anything you want with the computer.

Google is the PITA.
As for computer, I'm expecting it will be shortly replaced and upgraded.
Client is in another state far from here and server is in the UK. *Had a

Google groups are a bit of pain but they have a web api and they are
free. Otherwise you need client software and if you're behind a
corporate firewall it might not work anyway.

If google would just quit having these mysterious days long down
times.........
