Q & A Can you spare 10 minutes?

[Blinky the Shark]

Why are you using OE on a mac? That's just crazy. Step into the 21st
century already.

You're right. It's like using OE on a PC.

(If I find that anyone has killfiled me I am going to... I am going to...
er... actually what can I do about it? ... hells bells...

Who cares if someone killfiles you? If the person is that little, then
do you really want to deal with them anyway?

Bottom-posting sucks ass if people don't bother trim that which they are
not specifically replying to.

Amen!

A fine mac newsreader, beats OE with a stick without even breaking a
sweat- <http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/>

A good question. First because I am still on OS 9 and I have used it a long
time and kind of feel comfy with devils I know... but, the time is a' comin'
when I must avail myself of OS X and a more modern machine and so on, that's
when I will ditch all MS stuff (for all the Mac community criticise IE and
OE, I am conscious that they have been good friends to me on the whole).
News clients, I like the idea of these as kindly explained to me and will
investigate it when I have time...

Well, Travis, how can I make them better people if I can't get to them?

I used MT-Newswatcher back in the OS9 days too. The link above has a
classic version. Give it a try, you might like it.

I have installed this and it looks *very* good. When I get it fully working
I will kick all off my OE for newsgroups. Just want to thank you tm... I
know it has probably been ages in usenet-time...
