   Throwing money down that hole isnt something I'd be willing to do as   
   both PC's are almost 10 years old.

   Mice newsreader isnt free. I got into linux & BeOS because of the   
   economic factors.   
   M$ is too expensive.

   I used Pineapple without any problems but since its a commercial demo   
   the time ran out and the guy didnt offer any alternate payment options.   
   I wrote & offer to pay cash but got no response.

   I'm not. When all the mozilla code is free for using why bother?

   Wow. Pineapple never did that...   
      
   Oh well...as you can see I'm back to linux since usenet is a big deal   
   for me and a useable newsreader is the deciding factor as to whether or   
   not I use an OS.
