(If you were using a real newsreader, you could set different colors to different nest depths as well.) define 'real newsreader'...... as opposed to what?? A newsreader connects to a news server, which is how all these articles are propagated. Usenet is in no way affiliated with Google Groups, which is, most simply, a parasitic web site that copies all the posts from usenet and repuplishes them on the web. Usenet is... Well, let's do this the easy way... (obviously, make a mental substition of rec.crafts.glass for alt.coffee) http://groups.google.com/group/alt.c...4b5137e?hl=en& is there a choice? i joined through google groups... was there another way to do it? Use a news reader to connect to a news server. USUALLY, your ISP provides a news server for you to use. Not being able to read turkish, I don't know for certain, but there IS a machine named news.ttnet.net.tr so I'd bet a Chinese dinner that you can connect with that address. As to newsreaders... You're using Firefox, so there's no embedded news capability with that. If you were using Mozilla, there's a built-in newsreader, albeit not particularly user friendly in the eyes of this Unix geek. Thunderbird is apparently the Firefox e-mail sidekick which also has support for news, so that might be a good bet for you... similar look and feel, I'd imagine. http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/ If you'd like to try something outside the typical Windows user's experience, something like slrn (the one I use) might appeal to you (screenshot on my machine): http://wizard.dyndns.org:1234/slrn.article.png (screenshots from people with too much time on their hands): http://slrn.sourceforge.net/pictures.html (home): http://slrn.sourceforge.net/ (looks like they don't have any Windows binaries though... pity) |

wrote in message ups.com... We tourists can feel the dislike in such places, and don't come back. The locals are the stupid ones, chasing away the easy dollars. How hard is it to be nice and appreciative? -- JK Sinrod www.sinrodstudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |

How hard is it to be nice and appreciative? -- JK Sinrod www.sinrodstudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com sorry if i didn't make myself understood...it's not the 'dislike'...it's the 'greed'... the locals LOVE tourists...but only see them as a source of income, not as human beings. Assos is an ancient site. present day Assos is a tiny village perched on the remains of an ancient volcano...it's not much bigger than a small NJ town...if you've ever been to Smithville, NJ,..it's about that size (well, the last time i was there 20 years ago, smithville was the size of today's Assos) ....Aristotle (and i don't mean Onassis) spent 3.5 years there teaching, philosophizing, etc..., at the top of the 'acropolis' is yet another 'temple to athena'...unfortunately, the culture and tourism ministry has allowed the construction of cement columns to replace some of the fallen ones in the last three years...it's pretty awful if you ask me...but that's NOT the problem... until just recently, tourists were rarely seen here...then all of a sudden they started arriving by the bus load...the locals, very poor farmers and sheep herders, tried to pry some money out of the tourists by selling them locally produced items...woolen socks, crocheted lace doilies, maybe even an old rug or two...all were not particularly commercial but they WERE local production and foreigners thought they were getting a 'deal' ....then other tourists arrived and even more schlock hit the 'market'...now, as a tourist tries to make his/her way up to the MUSEUM (all of a sudden you have to pay to enter) at the top of the hill...a very hard climb up a stone road...you have to 'run the gauntlet' of vendors selling the same version of their stuff...it's all the same, if someone gets an idea for something new, within a week, the women are copying it exactly and they all try to sell it to the unsuspecting tourist...the road is only as wide as one car width...so you can imagine what it's like trying to walk past these shoulder to shoulder vendors, on both sides of the road, trying to get YOUR tourist dollars out of you before you see what the neighbor is selling...which isn't different from what they are selling. it's a horrible experience! and hence...only one time visitors these days. it wasn't like this when i first came to the region just 13 years ago...everyone was very naive and innocent. then the scent of 'money' hit ... like blood in the water, causing a 'feeding frenzy' that i find disgusting... imagine for a second what your Coney Island would have been like with vendors, shoulder to shoulder, on a 16 foot boardwalk, shouting at you to buy their Hot Dogs...every vendor selling the SAME exact kind of hot dog...would YOU want to go back twice? yeah, wait...only if you were hungry, right? see my point now? ar. |
