Seasons Greetings!
Hi all, I hope everybody's well.
As the more internet savy of you can see here I'm using Booger Groups
to view this Usenet group. I have done for a while now and I can't
really see any disadvantages. But I'd like to try a news reader, just
for a change really, to get in with the in crowd and all that!!

Would anybody like to suggest a reader for Mac OS that I can try.
Bearing in mind that I think Logic is difficult to use, hopefully it
would be easy enough to get my head around.

Best Regards,
Dave.

Before getting technical, have you checked that your isp HAS a news
server? Many don't.

Even if they don't finding one is easy and need not cost more for typical
text group use more than 50c monthly.

Looks like you are using Firefox, which has a built-in one. There is also
a longstanding tradition of Newswatcher clients dating back to OS 6 or so,
and the source tree has been split so many times I am not sure what is
currently available for OS X, but I know at least one Newswatcher variant is.

I continue to use Eudora happily, as I have for several years. I am
scared to try to learn a new newsreader.

MacSOUP has served me well for many years and many of the
uk.comp.sys.mac group are strong supporters of it. (You would have to
post your question to that group if you want to know all the reasons).

I don't think Firefox does. There's a differently named bundle
out of the Firefox family called Seamonkey that does incorporate a
newsreader. And, for all I know, you can run Thunderbird ( the mail/
news only client ) in parallel with Firefox.


I'm using Safari.
Though the thought of using an application called Thunderbird kind of
appeals to me.
I'll have a snoop around.

I use Safari as well, but as a web browser.

I'm using NewsWatcher on my G4 Mac and the software version is 3.5.2
The ability to killfile something is vastly superior to just about
anything else out there.
