Sorry for the off topic post, but I have tried elsewhere, and cannot get any
info.
On my new computer, I have Windows 7, which does not include Outlook
Express, which I have on this old computer, which will be given away soon to
a needy person.
On my new system, I use Outlook for my email, but it does not include a
newsreader. I need to find an independent newsreader, something that is
basic, and easy to set up. My server for newsgroups is localnet.com.
Can someone here please recommend a very good, easy interface, basic
newsreader, preferably one for free ? (Don't mind paying, if there is a
superior one offered for sale....).
I know that newsgroups seem to be dying, but I just do not enjoy forums as I
find them clumsy and a bit non-productive, and would like to stay on a
number of newsgroups that are very helpful to me, but I need some good
recommendations on a basic newsreader that (hopefully) would operate similar
to what Outlook Express provides for me on my old machine.
Thanks again for allowing this OT post, and I hope that someone can help me
on this.
