   As well you should be!   
      
   I started with nn, but then, like a good Northwestern University Mac   
   user, I switched to Newswatcher when it came out circa 1994 and haven't   
   looked back since.  Actually, I'm using one of its descendants,   
   MT-Newswatcher.   
      
   Just wanted to let you know your posts are getting through.  Something   
   went amiss with my TiVo last night, and so last night's show didn't get   
   recorded, so I don't have anything to say about it.  (As part of the   
   process of setting up my new Mac Pro, I turned off my wireless network   
   -- and my hacked TiVo gets a little edgy when it still has its wireless   
   adapter plugged in but can't find the network.)
