Any opinions on what is the best newsreader? I am willing to try something new.
The Wall Street Journal
Xananews
I use one my friend Kevin built (For free :)), but I used to use
Natalie
Are you referring to a newsreader or a newsserver?
I'm on my nice, shiny, new iMac and I'm using Unison. On PCs I use Outlook Express (the bland and the beautiful). jor
Uh, oh... I'm not sure how my post got into this group! Maybe this isn't such a hot newsreader after all! Sorry about that. jor
I see you're using Outlook Express, never tried it. I use Agent, it's the only piece of software that I ever bought, works good.
You can try it out free, get FreeAgent from Forte
Agent
Pan (GNU/Linux (Ubuntu) (no virii!))
Seriously? I use MT-NewsWatcher for the Mac
I use Pan on my Mandrake Linux setup.
For Winbloze, I use 40tude Dialog.
I like Xnews for its ease of decoding/displaying yEnc format binaries.
Use outlook express for day/day.
Oh crap - server. I use OE as a reader - good catch
Natalie, blonding out...
Pan (It's not a psychotic episode, it's a cleansing moment of sanity!) or was that, "As she crawled across the table"? Suse 10.1 (DON'T DO IT!!! IT'S NOT STABLE!!!)
I also use Pan for Winbloze.
I wasn't a big fan of Agent's changes from v1.9* to v3. Didn't like the way they decided to change were everything was at and took a little too long to manage multiple newsreaders without having to rig it. It is still pretty popular though.
I've been working with Xnews and Dialog a little and both of those are nice.

I use a thin-client ;). Firefox browser and google groups. No headaches-no service fees.

Web access has its benefits. : ) Google is a little limited for me in regard binary group content, but is an alternative for anyone that wants to participate in the text groups.
I've been using Newsguy.com's services and they offer web-based access to all their groups so you can get the best of both worlds. Web access is nice since you can use if from whatever computer you can get to the Net from, without having to setup a newsreader program each time. I Newsguy is still offering a 2 day free trial if anyone is interested in checking that out.

That is a newspaper, but thanks for trying. And don't worry about it...we know that you are doing the best you can.
Thank you to everyone for their suggestions. All I have ever used is OE and if it exists, I wanted to find something better.
