I've got the newsreader ready, but couldn't connect to google groups
(It appeared to be downloading as I was responding to this thread, but
I found out that google groups doesn't support news readers). What are
the URL's to these aviation usenet sites, so I can plug it into the
newsreader? I imagine I will have to sign up...

You will need to connect to a news server. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
probably has one that you can use, or you can subscribe to any number of pay
servers. Call your ISP or go to your ISP's help web page and ask them the
address of their news server. It will probably be something like
"news.ispname.com".
