    Hi Everyone:

    Hope you could walk me through this and I am sorry in advance for not knowing the answer.

    I needed to post something on The Beatles Usernet Site rec.music.beatles

    I thought it would be easy with Windows XP by going into Outlook and sending the post but a pop up comes on "If you are not a monthly pay member of Hotmail. you can no longer use Outlook for Usergroups."

    Is there a free way to post to the Beatles or any Usernet group without cost and if so how do I go about this.

    Thank you for your time and sorry in advance for lack of computer knowledge.

    All be well,
    KEN

    I take it that you use Hotmail for your email. You will have to either pay or get a email account that allows you to post on Usenet groups.
