We're getting a very basic internet access. Just ADSL and I believe a
SMTP. We don't need more.
Only I forgot about the newsserver.

Heh, yes, I know who Baz Luhrmann is. Moulin Rouge, Romeo+Juliet,
Strictly Ballroom...

Alright.

When I got mine the package said nothing about newsgroups/usenet. But it did
install it at no extra cost. But if it doesn't even have e-mail, it might be
a problem.

I know it doesn't have a newsserver, because my parents have the same
thing. E-mail we will do via my brother-in-law. Webspace maybe too, I
am not sure of that yet.

I'll give DejaGoogle a try. It's not that busy right now, so it should
be do-able, until I find something else.
In the meantime, I'll still have my livejournal.

How much webspace do you need? There's some spare on aglami.net if you
want some.

You're just jealous because you still run your bathroom on this
antiquated form of energy called electricity.
