Thanks! Net News Wire allows a variety of customizations, and if you register with Newsgator (the publisher of NNN) you can have your RSS feeds automatically synched between all your devices, so you can read them on any computer or mobile device (there's an NNN version for the iPhone/iPod Touch) and not have to wade through dupes, etc. Other than that it's merely a matter of personal preference. I really liked RSS in Safari until I tried NetNewsWire; I'd been unimpressed with the feeds in Mail, they seemed slower and clumsier to use. -- 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 the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
