As others have pointed out, Google is the easiest option. However, it's not
your only option. Here is another:

Go to http://www.individual.net and get yourself an ID. Note that you'll
need a fixed (not yahoo or hotmail) real email address to do so - they'll
post your ID to the address that will be displayed in the From field of
everything you post through them.

Find a Usenet application that can store its settings anywhere you want (as
opposed to one that can only store them with all your other settings
files). Put your application and settings files on a USB memory stick. Be
sure to include your server settings as well as your newsgroup settings.

Find a compatible cybercaf (some use Macs, some use PCs, not all have USB).


Good luck!
