Re: Hey Matt, did you freeze today?

If you're somehow attempting to reply to my comment about Xnews, you should know that Mozilla Thunderbird, as well as Firefox both are available as portable apps that will run off of a thumb drive. I run both on a 2GB thumb drive on the work box 10 hours a day, 4 days a week w/o a hitch.

Google portable apps.

Yeah, I use ALL the Portable Apps - even 'Mac on a Stick' :)

Which are you using as a NewsReader?

currently using Thunderbird on this 2 gig stick. nice for work, ya pull the thign out and no residual left behind for prying eyes :-) i'm using T-bird also on a linux box as well as the xp boxes and laptop. i've played with just about all of the newsreader apps over the years. for solid dependable service T-bird does it for me. may stem back to my beta testing days of netscape navigator and communicator ;) i haven't looked but there may even be a sea monkey portable app out there also. i currently use Pan also. like x-news (IIRC) it handles multi-part binaries where as T-bird doesn't.

Me too... I take Newsreaders VERY personally :) I only thought Thunderbird did mail.. Doesn't the mail portion of it bloat up the app?

I grew up with all the Unix apps... vi, edlin - so, I like thing that look like xnews...I'll look into Pan... Thanks.

Some. Price of convenience I suppose. It's certainly not a cpu hog in any manner.

Ever mess around w/ Tin?

here's a 'few' others.
