hey Scott, I've been extremely mobil for a few years and have been
using mostly wireless connections where I can get it so I'm always on
a different ISP. I didn't realize though that most people thought
google to be a bad thing:-) I use gmail and love it but I will say
that the NG reader thing is a bit hard to swallow.

Google is an abomination and in fact a lot of Usenet services just plain
dump all of the traffic from Google because so much of it is spam.

If you're often in different places, consider an account with a service
like Supernews, which will give you NNTP service no matter what your
current IP address is. You'll have to actually pay for an account, though,
rather than using a free one with your ISP.

Another alternative is to do what I do, and log in remotely into a shell
machine with a command line. I find this very convenient because all of
my files are in one place on one machine in New York, and no matter where
I am, I can log in and do work. The learning curve is a lot higher, though,
and it's not very fashionable.
