Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / November 2006newsreaders again - not so crazy about Unison, but
I'm looking for a newsreader that is preferably available as a Universal binary. I've been using Unison for a few days, but it's not very feature rich for a newsreader. I have been using MT-Newswatcher (an older version) on my G4 (also running Tiger) for years now and it's pretty good and very configurable. Is the current version stable on the core2duo? I have read reports to the effect that it was not.  SignatureRobertB > I'm looking for a newsreader that is preferably available as a > Universal binary.

I have read reports to the effect that it was not. Hi When these "which newsreader?" questions come up I generally suggest Hogwasher. The trial period for Hogwasher is 60 days. This is very good as Hogwasher has very many features to explore. Hogwasher is currently available to run natively on pre-Intel Macs and runs in Rosetta on Intel Macs, but it is a very badly kept secret that a universal version is being developed. Having said that the best thing to do I guess is just try out various newsreaders until you find one that suits you. I think MT-Newswatcher is now available as a universal. If Hogwasher didn't exist I think I'd probably use MT-Newswatcher myself. I have a page dedicated to Hogwasher on my humble web-site: <http://www.patrickjames.me.uk/mac/hogwasher.html> Hogwasher comes from here: <http://www.asar.com> SignaturePatrick Brighton, UK <http://www.patrickjames.me.uk> >> I'm looking for a newsreader that is preferably available as a >> Universal binary.

I'd bet another $50 that there isn't a single Hog lover that didn't think it overpriced - sort of. OTOH, there's been damn plenty of us to pay up nevertheless. I say "sort of" because it does SO much. because of it's Subscriptions I know it has saved me tons of time.

MacSOUP is cheaper, and I even prefer it in certain respects, but yeah - Hogwasher is a fine app. Anyway - I certainly feel I've got value for money after registering MacSOUP years ago for $20. I'd happily have paid $50 or more! I don't know what you Hog users are complaining about. The only difference is your developer isn't practically giving away their excellent newsreader! :-) Regards, Jamie Kahn Genet SignatureIf you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. > > >>> I'm looking for a newsreader that is preferably available as a > > >>> Universal binary.

A lot like the old Newswatcher, but faster. > > I'm looking for a newsreader that is preferably available as a > > Universal binary.

So far, so good. Some new features. Same old interface. But it works. |
