Hello,
	I finally got my (105mb) slab last week.  I have it directly on
the net here at University of Florida, but soon (when I get my modem and
hard drive) will be taking it home.  I would like to have a news reader/
poster on it for both places.  Is there one that will work for both?  If
not which ones would you (in the plural sense) recommend for each?  I
downloaded the news reader that can't post.  It looks very nice but as
the author says (I can't remember who it was) it isn't complete.  NeXT
Answers says that B news 2.11 is good to use, but this looks like it
would be for home using UUCP, which I don't need yet.  
	There was a post a while back discussing a news reader by someone
named Simson (sp?) (Bart? :-)  but I didn't see where to get it.  
	Any advice that someone can offer regarding this would be helpful.
I am amazed at what I have learned about Unix and networking this last
week, but I am frightened :-) by what there is I don't know.  

	Thanks in advance.

the first step in learning is to forget everything you already know.
