In my own experience, the Mac newsreaders that I have
tried(mainly Nuntius and Newswatcher) have felt incredibly slow compared
to tin. What, IMHO, would be a good step forward would be Mac versions of
UNIX packages like pine and tin...preferably with AppleScripts that
implement the same functionality as the PineSign and TinSign scripts
recently distributed here. I don't know about the Netscape-addicted
masses, but it would make my life a lot easier. :-)
