I too have seen my access to a.p.b.w being dropped by ATT.
I do however see FREE.a.p.w. is available. |

@flpi146.ffdc.sbc.com: I too have seen my access to a.p.b.w being dropped by ATT. I do however see FREE.a.p.w. is available. Are binaries allowed in the rec.* hierarchy? As a work around, we could form a replacement NG rec.woodworking.pictures.binaries (Or even just rec.woodworking.binaries?) Puckdropper -- If you're quiet, your teeth never touch your ankles.

Giganews is "free" with Comcast. I've been using it for many years, no problems, 2 gig/month limit, that I never reached in spite of unbelievable usage for a couple of years. -- Jack http://jbstein.com |

I'm on ATT and that doesn't appear on the current
newsgroup list. The binaries list is quite short. Leon wrote: I am on ATT formerly SW Bell. Yesterday a.p.b.w. disappeared. In OE I did a search for alt.binaries.pictures.wood. and got a blank window. I deleted alt. at the front and free.binaries.pictures.woodworking showed up as being available. |

That's great for those with Comcast cable TV. I'd have to really NEED a.b.p.w to trade back down to cable from DirecTV. There are so many free places to put pics online... One can simply post a link. On another note, I think I pay something like $9/mo. for full on hosting for my own domain, and I get my own email addresses and a web site! You could pay a cheapie host, give everyone you know email addresses, post all the pics you like, and not even bother with the web site, and it's still cheap. |

That's great for those with Comcast cable TV. I'd have to really NEED a.b.p.w to trade back down to cable from DirecTV. Obviously if you are not that interested in participating in a binary group, it's not important. There are so many free places to put pics online... One can simply post a link. That's not even close to being reasonable for groups like Alt.Binary.Photos.Originals where hundreds of pictures are posted each day. On another note, I think I pay something like $9/mo. for full on hosting for my own domain, and I get my own email addresses and a web site! Well, for $50/month I get up to 6 email accounts, 2 for me and one each for my wife and kids. I also get a free web address with each of those where we can all create our own web page. Ken Vaughn who posts here has a free page here (http://home.comcast.net/~kvaughn65/) I also get a free Giganews account where all newsgroups are available, including binaries like ABPO. You could pay a cheapie host, give everyone you know email addresses, post all the pics you like, and not even bother with the web site, and it's still cheap. I don't consider Comcast cheap by any stretch, but if you want all the services they provide, it is worth it, and I particularly like the fact they provide binary groups for free, and if/when they drop them, I will complain whether it falls on deaf ears or not. I doubt I will pay anyone separately though, first because I'm cheap, second because I think most of them will disappear if the two major ISP's drop them. -- Jack http://jbstein.com |

Ken Vaughn who posts here has a free page here (http://home.comcast.net/~kvaughn65/) Good point. Come to think it, most all internet providers include some sort of web space. Since I own a domain, I forget that most access accounts include that. So in reality, just about anyone has an easy and free method to share photos. To clarify, the domain I pay $9 to host includes my own domain name, lots of storage, and unlimited email addresses, and has nothing to do with my provider. There's even a nice web-based email client. Since I own the domain name, my email or web address doesn't change if I change providers. I really don't need internet access at all to use it. I can post to it or read my mail from any public access tube. If I really felt binary usenet access was that important, I'd buy access via the many providers, including Giganews, that's been posted here. If I switched back to cable in my area, my bill would climb at least $50/mo., We'd lose our favorite channels, and worse, I'd have to teach my wife to use new equipment! G |

G I am sticking with Verizon as ISP, since unlimited US phone service, 20/5 Mbps internet, and Fios TV cost me ~$120/mo, including 2 STBs (no HD yet). I bought 25GB on news.astraweb.com for $10, and have used in 1 month only 50 MB. I use Xnews (free), Eudora (now free), so I don't really need Forte, APN or not. But to each his/her own!!! -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |
