Re: Wasted 8 megs?

Not that I care on a 200 gig drive. But I'm just curious as to why
this happens. Does it have to do with the size of the drive not being
evenly divisible by the calculated cluster size?

Also, what is a good FREE Windows newsreader?


Whatever partitioned your drive in the beginning partitioned it that way. You could have deleted it when you installed XP, but now you will need a 3rd party solution to delete it and expand the partition to use all the available space.

Mozilla Thunderbird works okay for newsgroups. You can try it since it's free. OE suffers a BIG issue with top posting replies AND using a delimiter when doing so. Very thoughtless IMO to have a proper newsreader that understands what to do with a delimiter, to eliminate all of a posting when replying to someone using it. Delimiters were designed for bottom posting, ONLY to remove signatures.
