I use FireBird and FireFox. I need a good news reader for windows (2K)
Any suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks.

The google beta is best one I've used
http://groups-beta.google.com/
The beta solves most of the problems with the old set up, such as the delay when posting.

Hi GedB,

Hi naw,
Thanks. Um .. I am Icon blind and/or just incredibly slow.
What do you do to find/use the news client in Thunderbird?
Edit:
Found it.
*Hunts for excuses*
They made it too obvious!
Thanks naw.

You're welcome - Fire[Fox|Bird] / Thunderbird are really nice apps, arent they. I used them since the first betas and (even the betas) never had a crash.
