Your welcome. I see The Merg is still using Google so I'm gonna ping him.
I know Google is difficult to navigate and I'm sure he'll like
Thunderbird better.

Re: OT newsreader questions- The Merg=pinged
Yeah, I'm still using google groups on the ibook, haven't gotten around
to using the aioe on my desktop, but I have the link open in a tab, I
just have to get a few minutes to do it. I should be good to go
sometime tonight, barring any unforeseen complications.
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Re: OT newsreader questions- The Merg=pinged
Umm...so I got Thunderbird for the Ibook, set up the newsfeed, and
