Windows Live Mail will probably be just fine for you. There is Thunderbird
which will do the job, too.

Dont use google anything for nntp access.

Except the search engine. Which would have given you oodles of
suggestions in about a tenth of the time it took you to formulate your
question to a cookery group .....

Why did you recommend google reader? That's for RSS and Atom feeds,
not usenet.

What browser do you use now? What did you use in the past? I
started with Netscape, then used Firefox as my browser and
Thunderbird for newsgroups (I use Eudora for email). But now I
use Seamonkey. If you or anyone is an oldtime Netscape user, from
the days when Netscape was a suite, you will find to be most like it.

I've got Firefox for a Browser, Thunderbird for Email (the SO has Eudora) and
Xnews for newsgroups.


I remember using Netscape from many, *many* years ago!!

You might want to take a peek at Seamonkey then. I like it even
more than Firefox and Thunderbird. As with the old Netscape,
Seamonkey includes a news reader.

Just went and had a look at the Seamonkey website......

http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

"Under the hood, SeaMonkey uses much of the same Mozilla source code which
powers such successful siblings as Firefox, Thunderbird, Camino, Sunbird
and Miro. Legal backing is provided by the Mozilla Foundation."


Looking at the screenshots, it virtually looks the same as Firefox and
Thunderbird :-)

I know that Thunderbird can include a newsreader, but I like to keep it
seperate.

At this point, I plan to look at Live Mail and Thunderbird, then see
which one is the easiest to use. :-)

Thanks to EVERYONE that responded to this thread!

I won't be posting quite as much for awhile. Started the new job today
and between that and the time I need to put into the Internet marketing
class and stuff, I'll have to cut wayyyyy back. <sigh>

I'll be learning the new PC, the website builder template program, plus
two separate computer programs at work, and re-learning how to do
atypical antibody screens in Blood Bank for the first time in 20 years...

Can you spell "information overload"?

Plus, I have homework to do for work to get set up in the health care
benefits program they have available...

ARGH!!

And then there is that Chinese import deal I'm still going after since I
got my funding in from the IRA's I cashed out and that will be internet
marketing and "cold selling", plus I already have customers waiting for
that product so I have to come thru with it...

MT Newswatcher but that's strictly for the macintosh.
Odds are, I will just continue using the mac for usenet. This computer
won't be retired as I also use it for graphics using Photoshop CS.
Right now I'm just web-browsing and using g-mail on the new PC as it's
SO much faster for regular website internet access.

I gave up Netscape long ago. It's ruined more than one hard drive. :-(

I use firefox on both the mac and the PC for web browsing and g-mail.
The PC does not yet have a newsreader unless I want to use googlegroups,
which I don't. Not the least of which GG does not carry binaries.

I'm still weighing my options. :-) Question is, the mac is perfectly
functional with MT newswatcher for usenet. Do I really want to turn my
business machine into a toy, other than installing that PC flame fractal
program I've been lusting after that is not made for a mac? <g>

The program name is "Apophysis". Odds are, I WILL install that program
on the new toy, if it is compatible with Windows 7:

I used to use netscape. It's been several years.
I use macmail for regular mail, firefox for web browsing and gmail (and
it's slower than snail snot since the internet has sped up and this
ancient mac is macxed out) and MT newswatcher for usenet.

I wish they made a version of MT for windows machines! :-)

You're going to find very few newsreaders that are not also email
clients, so "keeping it separate" in that sense is pointlessly reducing
your options.

You are incorrect. FEW newsreaders are also mail clients.

Sure, there are some good combined ones. But they are not the majority
by any means.

Ah, yes, but Seamonkey includes an HTML editor and publisher, which afaik no
other browser does. That's why I stick with it.

Netscape ruined hard drives? Do tell. Anyway, SeaMonkey is an
offshoot of Netscape, as are Firefox and Thunderbird. All from
Mozilla.

I edit my website using notepad. I use Firefox with a FTP add-on to
upload. It's a very nice setup. My guess is that there's a Firefox
add-on for text editing that I could err... add on and then I'd have
everything available on the tabs. I'm assuming there's a HTML editor
add-on too. That would be a great setup.

FF with these add-ons is ideal for minor web editing but I still won't
use Firefox for web browsing. Too clunky.

I have a context-sensitive programming text editor, with FTP built in. When
you save the file, it uploads it.

That's OK if you want that sort of thing. I have no need to use something
like an HTML editor.

That's pretty snappy! Wish I could do that but it might get me into hot
