One huge point: Google reader is the google *application* to read your google *account's* RSS feeds. You can use other readers with your google account. I use Reeder on both my Macs and iPad and everything stays nicely in sync. NetNewsReader also supports a google account, iirc. And I agree with many. If the mailing lists get shut down, well, so long and thanks for all the fish. :-( Web forums are well-nigh unreadable, not easily combined and filterable (all my LEM lists are filtered into two folders in my mail client Desktops and Laptops), and I've never met one that was nearly as usable as a mailing list. In particular I HATE being sent to a web forum because 'somewhere in this frakking 3,234 screen thread is the answer to what you want, interspersed with everyone's 200 pixel high dancing avatars with another 100 px of decorative frome and dark red fonts on a black background because it looks like 1334 h4X0r eyecandy so you get like 4 actual posts per page that takes 30 seconds to reload. And FSM forbid you click on the miniscule 3-pixel high '>>' one pixel away from the '>' icon that sends you from whatever page you were on to page 3,234, with no way back. Hmm, have I mentioned my visceral hatred of web forums before?? :-) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
