    Yes, it's disappointing, but been that way for years now. I used
    to use Usenet a lot, and still do some, but it's dropped off
    dramatically. I think some of the "binaries" groups are still
    active, but I don't use them myself.

    One quite fine nntp feed is the one from grc.com (Security Now). There are very intelligent and knowledgible folks sharing info and helping others there. I've learned about some fine programs and hardware reading that group.

    Basically, but if you know what you're looking for sometimes you can
    find some good stuff :

    rec.arts.drwho comp.infosystems.gopher
    comp.sys.cbm

    Are quite active still...


    I'd add the following for good info, help and tips:

    alt.comp.os.windows

    Good shout, although mine doesn't carry the alt.comp.os.windows group, it does carry the
    ones for Win XP, 8, and 10 which are equally as good :)

    Hi Kevin,

    I'd add the following for good info, help and tips:

    I actually meant this one:

    alt.comp.os.windows-10
