Hi Dave!

Just wanted to letch ya know that -- due to hardware problems etc -- I
upgraded to Fedora 8. Still having hardware issues even after repair work,
but in the distro was the NEW Pan Newsreader, which I gave a try for a day
and a half.

Some interesting new ideas therein, but VERY poorly implemented, and many
necessary features -- like the ability to read /all/ the headers in case
you have to report an abuse or such -- are simply not there anymore.

Plus it crashed my machine, and even a reinstall wouldn't bring it back.
(NBD)

Needless to say, I have gone back to my old trusty "As she crawled across
the table...." version, and all is well once more.

In other words, AVOID it like unto the plague!
