   I have to agree with that accesment of Unison. This message is being   
   sent using Unison, and I have been using it with OS X, but I have not   
   been that happy with it. The bulk of news reader applications seem to   
   be designed to attract the power news junkie. I continue to look for a   
   simple news application.   
      
   I have have had even less luck finding a good news reader for BeOS. I   
   have not really gotten any of them to work well enough to even give   
   them a good trial. BeInformed and BeNews(?) crash before they even get   
   started, and Pineapple stops downloaded newsgroups after about 20   
   groups.   
      
   Cyberdog in the Classic Mac OS is my best liked news reader. One of its   
   nicer features is that one can enter the newsgroup to read, meaning it   
   works very well with no need to download a full list of groups from the   
   server.
