Seems like people gave up pretty quickly.
I'm staying here with the eternal-september and Thunderbird. If I have
a question or an observation I will post it here hoping that some
people are still checking this group. If necessary, I hope I can find
what I need to know somewhere/elsewhere.

I'm still using eternal-september and Thunderbird and it starts automagically when I start
Thunderbird. I guess it doesn't cost anything to let it idle along and, when there's a
posting, I'll see a pop up notification. What could be easier?
Right now I'm playing with something I just learned about last night while watching a
computer maintenance channel on youtube. It's called ventoy and it allows building a
bootable USB drive containing all of your various operating system ISO files, disk
maintenance tool kits, etc.
I maintain an old(er) Windows 10 computer so my wife can update her car GPS and do the
taxes and I can exercise the turbo control unit on my Stemme. I also created an Ubuntu
22.04 ISO file which contains all of the updates to a couple of months ago and I'll place
a copy on this USB drive along with everything else. It'll be nice to have everything on
one bootable drive where I can select just what I want/need without maintaining a stack of
drives. AND it's a different/good way to pass the time and learn something new during my
recuperation.

What are you recuperating from? Not serious, I hope.

While you are waiting for a response here, I suggest you post the same
on RAS_Prime. You'll get a response much more quickly. I follow RAS
here, where nothing happens, and on RAS_Prime, which has had many
interesting posts during the same period.

Well... While refueling my Cessna 180, I fell off the ladder and broke the ball off my
left femur. That resulted in a total hip replacement. I'm coming along but it's a big
shock to the system and there's a lot of physical therapy. I'm getting there and hope to
be flying again by the end of next month. My concern is that the effort to get into an
aircraft will have me napping shortly after takeoff...

Ouch! At our age, ladders are not our friends, are they? Get a low
wing airplane, or find gas pumps manned by line personnel!

McDonald's Silent Flight? He promised to keep the forum going. Soaring is just a memory
for him, at least until the kids are grown. The USENET, NNTP protocol, was/is preferable,
but on the way to the pricing bottom, bandwidth got too pricey for all of the news servers
hosted by the small ISP's and the big ones couldn't find a way to monetize it. Now that
choice's are becoming limited, you may not be paying more, but you may be getting less.
