    I'm managing to resist the temptation to install Windows on my Apple iMac -
    so don't have the luxury of Outlook Express for reading Newsgroups (as I
    have on this XP machine).

    I've tried using Thunderbird but it messed up somewhere (OK - *I* messed it
    up! <g>) ....... and I couldn't get rid of it! Grrrr! So ............

    Today I started afresh with a clean install of OSX Leopard and then I
    updated to Snow Leopard from a CD that arrived earlier this week from
    Amazon.

    I'd appreciate comments fom the wise here on which 'free' newsreaders they
    feel able to recommend for use on my iMac.

    Many thanks.

    One of the oldest tried-and-true freeware Macintosh usenet readers is
    "MT Newswatcher".

    You are correct "skeeter" yet it was good of "philo" to reply (thanks!)

    My fault really - I should have asked about "Usenet news clients", shouldn't
    I? <wink>
