my posts than addressing issues!

WTF is Entourage? Are you using a Mac?

Hi there: Sorry to forget some info:
Yes, I am on mac 10.3.9 with Entourage 10.1.4...I have beenn able to access
up til a few days ago. Do I need to upgrade Entourage (re link below)? There
is another link for watching threads just beneath the View Post link; when I
click on that I get to a MS page but an error message across top says Page
Cannot be Found...
Many thanks

Beats me. You can write everything that I know about Macs on the inside of
a matchbook with a grease pencil.

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader.

Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
http://groups.google.com/support/bin...ge=basics.html - Basics
of Usenet

explanation of newsgroups

http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
http://aumha.org/nntp.htm - list of MS newsgroups

You'll have to Google around for newsreaders for Mac.

I don't know much about Macs but Google can help you.
