Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / November 2005Semi OT: Good Newsreader for OSX?
I've used MT-Newswatcher for years with OS 8/9.x and been quite happy with it. I'm now migrating to OSX and tried Newswatcher-X. blechh. The Newswatcher for OSX is lame unfortunately. Suggestions solicited. What are you using? Thanks.

Identical interface for Newswatcher under OS 9, but better features under the hood. > > I've used MT-Newswatcher for years with OS 8/9.x and been quite happy > > with it.

I use MT Newswatcher with OS10.3.9 and have no problems with it. Suits all my needs.

Love it. SignaturePeter >> > I use MT Newswatcher with OS10.3.9 and have no problems with it. Suits >> > all my needs.

I'll have to try downloading a copy and take it for another test drive. Had liked Thoth when I first switched to OSX but that went away and have been using MTNW. Asar's Hogwasher has had god reviews but is a commercial program. Ken -- Newsguy.Com -- 30 GB -- $14.95 / month > Well, to get back to basics, I hate and despise online news readers Same here. Since the demise of the unrepeatable NewsHopper, I have looked around and settled for HogWasher. I don't know why I would ever bother with an online newsreader. It' just so handy to be able to read stuff offline, at my leisure :-) Paolo > Same here. Since the demise of the unrepeatable NewsHopper, I have looked > around and settled for HogWasher.

It' just so handy to be able to read stuff offline, at > my leisure :-) Good to see there are other acceptable offline newsreaders around, but MacSoup has everything I need. The beauty of offline is that it gives you the chance to reflect upon what you have written before you send it. So many times I have written something, left it overnight, and made wiser changes to it before sending.

You can find it at http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/ .... There is also a lite version for the great price of $0. Cheers!

That's not a newsreader in the sense he was asking. RSS readers have appropriated the name "newsreader" but are not the same thing at all as Usenet newsreaders.

It's not super advanced but really goodly coded and feels more OS X like. http://www.panic.com/unison/ Check features before you buy it, via trial.

MT-Newswatcher 3.4. http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/ I'm not sure whether you're talking about MTNW above, since there remains a lot of confusion about the many flavors of Newswatcher. The thing called NewswatcherX is a pretty simple straight port of the base Norstad Newswatcher code to Carbon to run under OS X. John Norstad stopped working on that code many years ago, and MTNW is really the living version of Newswatcher. All other variants seem to not have been ported to run natively on OSX.

Between work and home I jump between a OSX laptop and Windoze system. I've started using Thunderbird (mozilla.com) and have liked it so far. It's nice since the user interface is similar between the two and they're both free. I've also used MTNW Lou -- Basic Newsguy - 3 GB / month - $39.95 / year http://newsguy.com/overview.htm > Suggestions solicited. What are you using? As mentioned many times on this group before, for offline newsreading especially (but for online as well) without fancy stuff, you can't do better than MacSoup. It depends on the sorts of things you want to download from the newsgroup as to what suits best. Rifty SignatureAcademic and Computing Help http://rifty.net > > Suggestions solicited.
