MakerBot Operator’s Manual [06/04/20210]

[This post had no content – except a link to a Google Groups post under the MakerBot Operators group.  Since I use this website as a lab notebook, this would have been a good place to preserve this kind of basic “start up guide” information for a MakerBot.]

Kaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhn!

Now, picture me yelling the words, “Google Groups” like that.

Just what the holy hell do I need to do to be able to view Google Groups?  I can’t view them when I’m logged in.  I can’t view them when I’m logged out.  I can’t view it with ANY of my Google accounts.  WHY would you do this???  Google, whose entire business model is built on convenience has decided to essentially create a wall around Google Groups.

I’m seriously serious – do you know?  What do I have to do?  Sign up for another account???

Google, what the hell?!

Apparently I can’t access Google Groups.  Which sucks.  I have several different Gmail accounts and I can’t use any of them with Google Groups.  As a result, I can only read what’s going on in the Google Groups on my RSS feed – and not respond to anything.

Google, this may not be evil…  But it is just plain mean.  Cut this out, please, and restore access to Google Groups to Gmail users.
