Having just got Solaris running on my Sun Blade I have some idea of your
trials.

I have a question that's not too furry: does anybody know of a free news
server? Like critter.net only for regular NGs. I did a net search but
all the ones listed were either off line or didn't get any new messages.
I know about the pay ones but I don't need gigabytes of bandwidth or
SSL connections (wonder what that's needed for), I just want to read
newsgroups.

To paraphrase Dire Straits:
"I want my NNTP - I want my NNTP"

Why not? They're cheap on the used market and I've done a lot of work
on Suns. A five year old machine isn't going to set anything on fire,
but a 64 bit USII is still a decent processor.

Thank you for the info. motzarilla seems to be off line, but the German one
might work out though it doesn't look like they allow posting.

1984, where the morning jerks include touching toes, the chocolate
ration has just been increased to 20 grams per week, and thoughtcrime is
the only crime.

I like Brazil too.

Ooooh questions! I just love questions! Especially with chocolate sauce.

Let's see...
We'll get there when we get there.
Till it's done, and not a minute longer.
-the stars shine for the same reason the sun does, each of them is a
mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace, where hydrogen is
built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees. For more
info see the They Might Be Giants song Why Does the Son Shine?
-Ivy twines around what it can because if it used elmers school paste it
would fall off in winter.
-The sky isn't blue, the part of the continuous rainbow you see during
the day is the blue part. You will notice when the day is beginning or
ending the sky starts at black then becomes red then orange there is a
bit of green and then it stabilizes in blue, with the reverse at sunset.
Zorro!
Between the couch cushions or in the kitchen, depending on which remote
you mean.
It was time.

I may now re-lurk, I'm not sure. Hope you like the answers now. When I
was a kid we had to walk 5 miles uphill in 6 feet of snow just to get 1
answer!
