Access to microsoft.public.mac.office newsgroups via new server

[Diane Ross]

I found a free server that still offers support for
microsoft.public.mac.office newsgroups if you don¹t want to use the Mactopia
forums or one of the web interfaces like Google. I can¹t guarantee
that all MVPs will be posting on the newsgroups now.

Open Accounts and enter a new News accout. Enter nntp.aioe.org. That¹s it.
There is no user name or password.

More info:

Hope this helps!
