Indeed I do, young wading bird.

I felt consumed with a desire to post a railway photograph on a usenet
group, but Pan does not do attachments, so I tried Thunderbird, which
does, and this was a small test to ensure that I'd entered all the right
bits of code. Obviously I had but I never did post any pictures.

Indeed, indeed. I signed up with them a million years ago cos I wanted to

look at pictures (of trains and motorbikes, thank you) and the free
servers wouldn't do that. They sell you blocks of intangible ethery
stuff. I bought a tenners worth, introduced someone else (Nokky, I think
- might be wrong) and got an extra fivers worth of data. And it just
keeps on going.
And, also, as well, in all that million years, they've never been off
line. Not during my usual times anyway.

bunny server world, maybe Steve can tell us a bit more.
I quite fancy a non-expiring block with poasting privileges,
just for text-only Usenet.

Text only: A tenners worth will last a decade.

Still the same web sign up page. Fifty gig will cost about that ten quid.
If I can remember my password and log in, I might grab another 50GB while
the good is going.

Highwinds has cornered the market. Astraweb, Usenet-news and many
others now use their servers. So if an article is missing on one
server it'll be unlikely to be another one. I have blocks with both
astra and usenet-news which is pointless now.
This seems to be the cheapest non expiring block.

Two pound eighty eight for a ten gig block. I doubt you'll ever use
that up on text froups. And you get a months use of a vpn. Their
backbone seems to be Eweka, not Highwinds.

I had no idea about any of that. No idea how much of my usenet-news block

is remaining. I might buy some from newsdemon and just let U-n run it's
course. Or maybe I'll let U-n run out first, if it ever does.
