[geeks] WANTED: Mac program for Usenet text groups

[Shannon Hendrix]

I need a good Usenet newsreader for MacOS.

What I have found so far either kinda sucks, or it is heavily geared  
toward downloading porn and pirated software.

What I really need is a first-class threaded text newsreader.

I know I can get a port of something like trn, but I would like to try  
finding a good native Mac program that does a good job with threaded  
discussion.

I've tried MT Newswatcher, which is very powerful, but hopelessly ugly  
and cumbersome to manage.

It's MacOS 7-9 heritage is painfully evident.

The other stuff like Unison has "OK" text abilities, but it clearly  
designed primarily for grabbing binaries which I'm not interested in.

Anyway, suggestions welcome.

Oh, and what would be *really* nice is if the program updated  
~/.newsrc, so I could share that with a UNIX machine I still read news  
on, from the same server.

Thanks.
