Hey Woody I am no fan of the guys who think they know it all and have to rub everyone else's nose in it. But when you can get some freeware that enhances and simplifies the usenet why not use it And if the pics are crap just delete them. "It is better to light a single candle, than to curse the darkness" Try a newreader like xnews you might actually like it If you don't just uninstall it! |

The video capabilities with no disrespect intended don't do a thing for
me... I am a photographer so the basic CS3 should be more than sufficient. I should also mention that I am going to be buying the CS3 upgrade for the PC and the full version for the Mac. Aperture will of course only be for the Mac. After these are done I have every intention of buying a new PC (in the fall) and a new G5 (around Christmas or next year).

I have never tried to access the Newsgroups on my Mac. Funnily enough these days it seems as if I have to buy every software package twice. One for my two PCs (Laptop and desktop) and one for the Mac. My next two purchases are actually going to be for the Mac; CS3 and Aperture.. Andrew Which version of CS3 are you getting I will be getting the video production package upgradeas soon as it is available my self. but here again why not get xnews for you PC It's free and easier to use than MS OE |

Because it means having to learn a new system and incorporate that into the
daily routines... Don't get me wrong I have in the past played with Xnews and a few others... Yes they work great but I am not a serious NG player anymore. Perhaps if MS or one of the big software guys releases something that is in the under $50 range I may consider it. But I don't like to tinker much these days, and prefer to go with what's reliable and simple. Andrew "Clairbear" wrote in message ...

I wouldn't go so far as to describe it as bad photography anything else...
It's just different levels of comfort that people have. In the past I have played with many of the titles they talk about and I will give them full credit for their capabilities. However in a public NG that is hopefully intended to be open to everyone, I don't see why they insist that their way is the ONLY way. If it was closed NG with moderation then I have no problem with Yenc or any other type of protocol. The premise being that if you want to play in that closed NG then you play by their rules or not at all. However in an open newsgroup the dynamics are a bit different. I know that when I post an image I want as many people as possible to see it. So why would you eliminate a huge portion of your viewing public. It's the same as me handing a client a CD of images that I took for them; but rather than using JPG I handed them in PSD or raw format. Then when the client complains I turn around and suggest a new viewer. Not a smart combo especially when I could have just used JPG instead, and saved both of us the headache.

Your comments above are hitting the nail squarly on the head. I'm amazed in some of the other groups where the posters insists that you march to their drum or else. In my case ( with my Macintosh ) I use an old operating system and older software. All of these new Mac browsers and newsreaders will not work with my system. I know I'm behind the times but there you go. I ask politely if they could post in a normal fashion but if they say no then since I will never ever get to see their shots I just put the poster in the kill filter and be done with it. After all if they don't me and a few others to see their pictures and admire and appreciate their efforts then that's okay with me. I can't miss what I can't see. Anyways.... Good to see your back. |

I am sure somewhere there is a search engine that will work on macs if you search for it Besides if you can afford a Mac you can surely spring for a cheap PC for internet use and free up your mac to do what it does best. I have been using the newsreader feature of Netscape/Mozilla without problems for years. Of course, my ISP has one of the best newsfeeds in the biz and regarding yenc, I just filter it out. No big loss... JT |

Shiver,
To be honest I never really left, although a few months ago a tale went out about my apparent death. Happily apart from 30lbs too much around the middle, I am reasonable okay.... However my shooting and posting situation has changed rather dramaticaly. These days though I still work in pro photo retail, I work on the side in a volounteer capacity with several police department's aviation sections, additionaly my tax information is on file with several airlines. I actaully have 3 major shoots scheduled at the end of the month and early into July. Of course when this happens I go into hyper time frenzy mode. As in everybody wants the shots, and everybody wants it now all the while my manager in my real job is looking darkly at me and hell even the cats are trying to avoid me. Attached is an example from last year... I was in the back taking the pictures of course. Andrew "shiver" wrote in message ...
