Free & easy news ??????

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am an old and not very smart user. I have been using newsreader.com for
reading usenet for a while but must let it go due to finances. I was
wondering how I can continue to read a few groups with something free and
easy to use.

I am running XP -Home. My ISP is MSN and I don't think they have usenet any
more.

Any suggestions??

TIA
