or they'd have received thousands of phone calls..... <sigh>
Said the problem was on my end and suggested a re-install.

Tried that yesterday and it did not work, but I know now that I had the
stmp server ID typed incorrectly.

The nice thing about doing this is now I've switched to the current
version and it has a spell check. :-) The old one did not!

No need to respond to this post, if it shows up I'll see it and Know

I've had customer support say that to me in the past too. It's sure
sign they're not very well trained in troubleshooting. Too bad you
did it, but since the upgrade was to a better version... all's well
that ends well.

Pickled Eggs in Pickled Beet Juice

Recipe By:
Serving Size: 1
Cuisine: Uncategorized
Main Ingredient: Eggs
Categories: Sugar, Pickles, Eggs

-= Ingredients =-
Beets, small young
~~ S ~~
2 c Sugar
2 c Water
2 c Vinegar
1 ts Cloves
1 ts Allspice
1 tb Cinnamon

-= Instructions =-
Select small, young beets. Wash. Leave 3 inches of tops on and roots.
Cook until skins slip easily (about 15 minutes). Pack beets into
jars within 1/2 inch of top. Pour boiling liquid syrup over beets to
within 1/2 inch of top of jar. Process for 30 minutes in boiling water
bath. After the beets have had time to "cure" (about 2 months), we
then eat about 1/2 of the beets out of a quart jar, drop hard- boiled
eggs into the pickled beet juice, and put into the refrigerator for
about 2 weeks. By then, the beet color will have penetrated into the
whites of the eggs nearly to the yolk area. Of course, a much simpler
way would be simply to buy a large jar of pickled beets, eat about 1/2,
and drop in hard- boiled eggs; then, refrigerate and leave for a couple
of weeks until the beet juice has penetrated. From Geminis MASSIVE

Indeed. :-)
I'm just glad to have my newsreader back!

Google groups is not only a PITA, but it does not support binary groups.
:-(

It was time consuming but all is ok now.
I'm sure I did not miss anything earth shattering! <lol>

A cheat way to make them:

Buy a jar of pickles, reserve the brine.
Buy 2 cans of beets, reserve the juice.

Mix the beet juice and pickle brine and soak the eggs in that for a few
days until the eggs are nice and pink. ;-)

Do this in the refrigerator of course!!!!!!

Oooh! I miss my Newswatcher and direct access to USENET. Got DSL and
have to play the Bellsouth game which means going to Google groups.
For a couple of months I could get direct USENET by unplugging my DSL
and returning to dial-up, but keeping both DSL and dial-up seemed
silly, so I dropped my dial-up. Still having withdrawals. What's PITA?

Why can't you access usenet through your Bellsouth account?

Accessing usenet through BellSloth is shitty at best. Lots of dropped
(or never found!) articles. They keep blaming it on their peers, but
it's just an excuse to eventually drop usente altogether..

The only problem that I have with Bell south DSL is in wet weather.
As in a heavy down pour, after a hurricane.
Other then that here I am, using agent.

I have used Bellsouth DSL for the last 4 years or so and my usenet
access is very good. I occasionally see dropped parts in multipart
binary groups, but it's fairly rare. In text groups like this one, I
never have a problem. Their customer service does stink these days;
God forbid you need tech support! The actual connection, however, is
quite stable and reliable. I would second that advice to check your
settings and newsreader.

Question. How do you use dial-up and DSL simultaneously? Wouldn't I
have to unplug my DSL connection, plug my dial-up modem, set SMTP and
POP settings, etc. Then reconnecting to DSL, I'd have to reset my
account. Most settings should remain the same.

But Bellsouth had to send me 3 modems before I found one that would
stay connected. Other 2 would drop after 1 or 2 hours, sometimes
overnight; and I'd have to sign-in anew. So I'm sort of leary of
disconnecting DSL now that I've got one that stays connected.

You just plug your dial-up modem into a free telephone jack (with a
DSL filter attached) and use it if you need it. You don't have to
disconnect the DSL first. A splitter on the jack the DSL uses would
probably work as well, but I can't say that I've ever tried that. That
will give you both connections available, should the DSL go down; but
I don't think you can actually use both simultaneously since the login
and password are the same.

Was that question to me? DSL is like having two telephone lines...
one out one in. Yes, you need a modem.

Yes, it was. Ravinwulf answered:

"You just plug your dial-up modem into a free telephone jack (with a

disconnect the DSL first. A splitter on the jack the DSL uses would
probably work as well, but I can't say that I've ever tried that. That
will give you both connections available, should the DSL go down; but
I don't think you can actually use both simultaneously since the login
and password are the same."

But I only have one jack in my computer room. Bellsouth told me that
splitting at the jack would not work. Something about my computer not
being able to recognize both connections. Has to be one or the other.

Ravinwulf is saying I need a free telephone jack. Guess I'd have to run
one from the phone box.

Answer to your lazy comment. I used to shut down every night. But
problems with OS X startup prompted a tech rep to tell me "just don't
turn it off." That's one.

Then problems with those Bellsouth modems dropping my connection
prompted a DSL rep to tell me "just don't turn it off." That's two.

So not shutting down may be dumb, but it's not lazy.

Ah, OS X..... need I say more? LOL

But seriously, any "rep" who tells you something like that in answer
to a problem is as serious a numbskull as one that would tell you to
reinstall. I can't believe you not only bought that cr*p, you
publicized it.
