Hello... Could someone tell me exactly what and where a 'clipboard' is..and
how is one supposed to use it? What should it be used for and how?
When you go to these discussion groups are they also called 'newsgroups'?
Also, when you go to these groups..will a list of languages always appear and
then you have to make your selection? Or am I supposed to take a more direct
path?
Thanks for all responses.
Bye
SC

1. Clipboard: Did you try Google or Bing?

2. Yes

3. Not real sure. I rarely ever use the web interface. I use a newsreader
and find that to be much easier.

At the moment, yes; newsgroups and web forums are two very different things,
but in this case, messages on one are mirrored on the other. Sometimes it
happens pretty quickly, sometimes it's slow, sometimes the mirror gets busted
and the connection stops working.

As JoAnn mentioned, using a newsreader program is more reliable.

There are several ways to get here. I suppose it depends on your route. I've
never had to choose a language first but maybe I took a different fork in the
road.

I know it can be confusing at first, but hang in there. It'll all become second
nature.
