Re: OT newsreader questions
 

I'm no hippie but I try to keep my use of Microsoft products to a
minimum, and Firefox/Thunderbird really does work well.

There is also a great alternative to Office, Open Office. It is
compatible with MS office, but it has two big advantages, it's not a MS
product and the price is right, FREE!

Also, hamster (a local news spool) can be set up to filter on more
than what any of the above can do.

I've been living work-free for eleven years thanks to people who buy
Microsoft products. I guess it would be ungrateful not to use them too.

Outlook is a completely different animal from Outlook Express. It doesn't
even read news. When I was at Microsoft, everyone was using Outlook
Express. I could never figure why Outlook exists.
