Netscape (4.77) worked fine for me until I started using multiple
servers. Then I tried Free Agent and Gravity. Both are good, but I
preferred Gravity - I don't even remember the reason, so there must not
have been much difference.


I'm on Netscape 7.2 and it handles multiple servers just fine. 7.1 did
too. I don't remember how the 6.x versions did with it. Why in the
world are you all the way back at 4.xx???

I'm posting this with Netscape 4.76 and it handles multiple servers as well
quite well. As far as 4.76 vs. 7.x, it's much lighter. I have both versions
installed (4.76,7.1) and I prefer the newsreader with 4.76 but when browsing
the web, you're almost forced now to use 7.x. A lot of sites I frequent have
given me warning that 4.76 will no longer be supported.

If I had my druthers, I'd be running xrn on a unix box. :-)
