After working on computers for days and hours on end, biosed sounds
about right to me.

It's "biased".

Few years ago, during its brief rise, I knew of some folks who got
beosed...

The voice of "AzFlyGirls" drifted in on the cyber-winds,

And again the point is missed... }:8P

...is the best also for me.

I've d/led tried 40tude, as you like it, and it seems a bit hard to learn,
but my main peroblem is, it seems to be an offline reader, as I find the
message bodies are still there after disconnection.

Is this so, or is it just the way I'm using it?

I don't want an offline only reader; I sort of worry about memory,

Dialog has offline capabilities. If you don't want to keep the read
messages, you can set this your choice under Group - Default group options -
Purge. In addition, remember to run File - Compact database every few days
to keep it small.
If you need further help, post in news.software.readers with [Dialog] in the
Subject: you'll get a lot of helpful answers there

Been reading this thread to see if there is anything better than NewsExpress
v.2.01 (1997) by Ken Ng. Still available (Google search) and will run on Win95
- XP. I don't think it is multi-threading ...

Thanks, Maria, I found the bit you're talking about, also the obvious to
some "online" button, but I thought it meant the same sort of thing as OE
and IE. Silly me.

TBH, I'm very happy with Xnews, but maybe 40tude would suit me better if I
can learn it, if I can get over the learning curve, I'll practise on a
couple of groups

Thanx
