The biggest problem with GG is that it raped everything what was good from Deja and left the bad things in, adding even more bullshit. There is NO reason to be using GG. The most common reason is 'my boss doesn't allow me to connect to port 119' Well, though luck. Mine doesn't allow me to install Linux. houghi -- ________________________ Open your eyes, open your mind | proud like a god don't pretend to be blind | trapped in yourself, break out instead http://openSUSE.org | beat the machine that works in your head

If you can work in Linux without anyone being the wiser, more power to you. Some of us have to use a web browser to read Usenet at work. That's just the way it is.

If it is unrealistic to use a newsreader at work then your boss does not want you to read news, most likely. > If you can work in Linux without anyone being the wiser, more power to > you. Uh, why 'without anyone being the wiser'. Sounds like you think people should secretly install Linux or any other software that they are not allowed to do. Perhaps even install other programs that they are not allowed to? Perhaps do things (like reading Usenet) that they are not allowed to? > Some of us have to use a web browser to read Usenet at work. "Have to"? Who is forcing you? There are two options. 1) You do it privatly 2) You do it because your business requires it First let us asume all the other options are not possible. These options are: a) Use a free program to connect to a server (free or payable or your providers) b) use putty to ssh to your home and use slrn (that is how I do it) c) A GUI version of b) So what is left to do. In case of 1) You can do it at home. Just wait till you are at home and do it then. Use the time you are not doing it at work as time you leave earlier. In case of 2) The comapny you work for should provide you the tools to do your job. If they don't then they do not want you to use those tools. Wether that is because they are stupid or because they think you do not need them and are thick or for whatever reason. The fact remains they do not want you to use the proper tools. As they are your employer, they are right, so you do not use your own tools. If your areyour own employer and you are forbidden to use Usenet in a proper way, you are an idiot. > That's just the way it is. No, it isn't. That is the way tou want it to see. But please do tell what I have overseen. What is the reason that people should use GG from work. Please be specific wether this is for personal use or for work related use. houghi -- ________________________ Open your eyes, open your mind | proud like a god don't pretend to be blind | trapped in yourself, break out instead http://openSUSE.org | beat the machine that works in your head

You are the one having conniptions over a news reader. The details of one particular situation doesn't really matter. GG serves legitimate users and serves a need -- or it wouldn't exist. In any case, I find it serves me well, so I use it and I like it. Is that so bad? |
