Newsgroups  
 
  Generality  
 
 
  Newsgroups are something like messageboards. Everybody, who have access to a newsserver can send (post) messages and download messages. That can be only messages with text, or they can also have an attachment like for example a picture or an avi-file.

Because a good newsserver carries over 70000 different Newsgroups it is a good place where everybody can find something what he is searching. You can try to get access to a "free" newsserver, but mostly they carries not very much newsgroups and also not very much messages. In some newsgroups there come in every day over 1000 new messages, and the newsserver keeps them one or two weeks or longer. I recommend to get an access to a commercial newsserver, although it costs around 10$, but it is worth. I will place some "Links" at the bottom of this page.

There are two ways you can read newsgroups. One way is to read them with your Web-Browser, but then you must look for a newsserver which makes this possible.
The other way is to read newsgrougs with a special program, a newsreader. I recommend this way, because it is more comfortable.
