There's one drawback though, setting up changi is not for the faint
hearted.. I know, I tried setting it up one. It works finally ;)
But reading via Netscape/2 and Changi is a waste of space I would say..
you are having 2 copies of every single usenet posting in your harddisk.
And most usenet postings are spams anyway..
I just wonder.. Does anyone knows what other Newsreader is there for
the native OS/2 other than Netscape, PMNews and Neologic/EmTec News??
