   That one has 288MB ram and its not helping much.   
   This one has 64MB but its a PII and its still slow.   
   It took 45 seconds from the time I clicked "reply" button   
   to opening the reply window!   
   :(   
   If I could code I'd hack Gossip so it shows full headers so you could   
   see all the newsgroups a message is posted in.   
   Gossip is the best of the freebie newsreaders.   
   BNEws hangs, BeInformed just crashes.   
   Gossip is rock solid but lacks some nice features.   
   Too bad development stopped with it.
