I thought I would post a HOW TO on getting to the news server for ALL Creative readers. If your using netscape news reader its basicly the same idea but I can post a how to for that as well if need be.

Hope this helps... I KNOW Microsloft has little help in its help files. Anyone ever find any help in a MS help file???
