Is there a "usenet for dummies" guide somewhere, for 90s kids?

Asking for a friend.

It's quite easy, but you'll need an account and a client.

  1. Create an account on eternal-september.org
  2. Change and note your password.
  3. Follow the tutorial of your elected client. I recommend [email protected], you can learn how to add a Usenet account in Thunderbird here.

Ask me if you have a question!
