Alex's Favourite Newsgroups and Ezines
A popular myth is that the web is the internet, it is not, yes it is a very powerful part. News groups are another useful medium. News groups seem to be greatly misunderstood and under used which is a shame since there are a valuable source of information. The best way of finding news groups is by searcghing fo topics of interest in your newsreader.
If your not sure what news groups are then check out my page on them.
Below is a list of what are currently my most visited groups, this may be reconstructed at a later date to try to show a less personal lsit of news groups, perhaps alogn the lines of my favorite webpages.
