I just decided to go back to Free Agent after a too-long absence and,
alas, Forte has discontinued it to focus on their money-generating
options.
I looked at X News which sounds great, I was just wondering what
ya'll
use and like (BESIDES Google, thanks) before plunging into a
download.
OH - I want free, too.
Thanks,
Ricky

I've been mostly happy with XNews for several years now.

I use plain-ole Outlook Express. Works great for me.

read from the top down).

Here is a list of news readers:

I'd be happy to ask Mark to add other readers to the list
if you know of others.

Mozilla's Thunderbird works for me as a simple mail and news reading
application. Oh, yes it's FREE.
Simple is best.
