As I recall, one of the disadvantages of Gravity is that it can only
access one news server at a time. Then you need to switch to access
another. 40tude Dialog, on the other hand, can access many servers all
at once.

Otherwise, Gravity is a nice program.

Unless you're downloading files, masses of them, it's great. I don't
download images and don't read binary groups, so, it's a great
application.

You can also download and run PAN on Windows, but PAN on windows is not
very stable.

Learn more about PCBUTTS1 and his antics and ethic and his perversion
with Porn and Filth. Just take a look at some of the FILTH he's created
and put on his website: http://www.futurehardware.in/595578-2.htm all
exposed to children (the link I've include does not directly display his
filth). You can find the same information by googling for 'PCBUTTS1' and
'exposed to kids'.

Agreed.
40tude dialog will show all servers in one column. It's a bit of a fiddle to
set up, but nowhere as fiddly as Xnews. Both are worth the effort tho'
Gravity is ok if you want a newsreader working 'out of the box'.

Keep the Rant mode on, it's obvious that that's what Boaby wanted to get
away from.

I guess that's why it's my "favourite newsreader" !
Maybe I'll post some of my favorite sigs when "Boaby"
asks which favourite sigs to use in his favourite
newsreader. (^%
