It's 39 bucks for something that looks like OE. I don't think so!

Well, Opera is more than a news reader. It is a browser (Mostly).
I use Netscape 3 for newsgroups, prolly cuz I am so used to it.
I use Opera to browse the net & manage my e-mail. On some days
it even renders (obski) Lovelands web site OK.

My main point was that there wasn't any need for me to employ the
News.individual.net program. My ISP provides a newsreader connection
I can use with Forte or Opera or whatever. I took it from the
original advice to check out the N-I-N thing that that would provide
the newsreader service directly.

What is Opera? I've used just about every newsreader there is, and
I've never heard of Opera. Gimme the website, I'm afraid to put in
www.opera.com

If you can put up with an advertising banner at the top (which I never
even notice any more), then there is no monetary cost. (i.e. it *is*
free).

Good for you, O Retro-Grouch! I don't think there are substantial
differences between the 3.n and 4.9 newsreaders, but I switched to the
4.n series because I hoped they would eventually add the killfile
capability that was so sorely needed. Didn't happen until Mozilla, of
course, but Mozilla doesn't work as nicely for news as the old
netscapes.

Try Mozilla too -- apparently you can get browser-only versions. I run
both Moz and NS because there are some sites that one gets that the
other doesn't.

I use the browser only version (Firebird) to browse. I use the email
only version (Thunderbird) for email and news. Both work great for me.
