A guide to one of the Internet's most valuable resources, newsgroups are the newspapers and soap boxes of cyberspace, where free speech reigns supreme and you can shoot back just as forcefully, albeit via the computer keyboard. A popular and fun way of exchanging views and information. Stuck on the names of the mistresses of Louis XV for your history essay? Want to swap news and views with other chocoholics? Want to find out where you can buy needles for the gramophone Great Aunt Amy left you? Just join a newsgroup.
