There are non-newsreader routes into newsgroups. For example, www.deja.com
I couldn't find comp.sys.software on deja, though; I assume this would
start a new tree, logical given that everything in comp.sys seems to be
platform specific, and obviously VNC isn't.
Question is, might vnc fit somewhere else ...
