Also called ``news,'' USENET is the world's largest bulletin
board system. Analogous to a physical bulletin board, USENET
has several thousand newsgroups for specific subjects
of interests to users of the
Internet. The groups have many purposes:
technical discussions, current events, hobbies, and cultural
exchanges, to name only a few. To access USENET, you will
need a ``newsreader'' program such as trn. See
newsgroup
news.announce.newusers
for pointers on using USENET.
