Duke University just shut down UseNet Server #1.
There's been /some/ good news on the UseNet front, though. Panic has
recently released a nice newsreader, Unison, for Mac OS X. (I used
Thunderbird when I was on the Operating System of the Damned, but the
Mac OS X version of Thunderbird has some icky problems on the UseNet
side, and I didn't need it for mail.) (I should add that I use Google
Groups to post on rastb5m, because of a problem my ISP's server has
with the moderation.)
