Hi

With apologies for going so much off topic. I've just taken my first
step down the Mac road with the purchase of a Macbook.

It's assumed there'll be some other Mac users on here. If so,
would you be kind enough to let me know what newsreaders you're
using please and what you think of them ?

I'm not sorry to leave Windows behind but will sorely miss
Turnpike, an ageing but excellent newsreader.


Thanks in anticipation.


Thunderbird for mail and news, first class


Thunderbird is pretty good but has the same problem as MS Mail - and
possibly any other mail application that use the same storage system -
in that you have to be careful when prompted to compact mail folders;
if you don't go off-line when doing it, you may lose the odd e-mail.

Jim, If you only want a standalone newsreader with no mail capabilities,
Pan is the best I've used. http://pan.rebelbase.com/
