    There was a bit of a spring break, however, with AOL dropping USENET as
    a standard service. WebTV and other web-to-USENET gateways stepped in
    to fill that gap, though.

    Speaking of which, my university has just announced that it's dropping
    usenet news in a couple of weeks. Since I find MT-Newswatcher a *much*
    more efficient way to read news than Google groups, I'm at a bit of a
    loss. Can anyone recommend alternative news servers, preferably free
    ones?

    I used news.usenetzone.com until yesterday, when I'd had enough. I have
    now moved to news.individual.net, which charges 10 euros (about 12-13
    dollars) per year for the privilege. It is lightning fast and stable and
    has next to no latency before posted articles appear, all of which usenetzone.com lacked. Its only good thing was being free.

    I wholeheartedly recommend news.individual.net, and hasten to say that I
    am in no way affiliated with them. One caveat, though: They do not carry
    binary groups.

    The point was that if you can dual boot this then there should be a way to
    run one OS within the other. SHEESH.

    His point was that there were already a couple of threads going from
    several days earlier and this news had already made headlines by the
    time you posted, so it did, indeed, seem that you'd just awoken from a prolonged nap.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that!

    Fortunately, there is. Are. Will be shortly.

    Parallel has a beta for MacOS X:

    Then, too, there will be solutions like DarWINE, etc.

    Actually the ability to run Windows within OS X is quite a different
    problem than dual booting. The main issues with booting had to do with
    the Apple's EFI firmware not supporting a whole crop of things XP
    requires.

    Running in a virtual environment, you could *easily* provide a virtual/emulated efi/bios that windows could interact with. Meanwhile,
    given that its an intel cpu emulation isn't an issue, and the main
    problem facing the virtualization solution are those of properly
    mediating the multiple operating systems access to the
    hardware/peripherals as OSes typically assume they aren't sharing the
    machine with anything else.

    So really, the two problems have very little in common.
