Does anyone know if there are any RSS (Really Simple Syndication) apps for OS
9, something along the lines of NetNewsWire or Radio Userland? I'm using
RadioUserland on OS 9 and it's got to be one of the most ugliest, clumsy, and
counter-intuitive programs I've ever seen. I'm not interested in blogging,
although that would be nice too if it were available and handled more
elegantly than RadioUserland.

My searches at Versiontracker and MacUpdate haven't been too fruitful.

I used to use a great little program called Intellinews, but that was
discontinued ages ago, and although it still works, the plugins are barely
useful for keeping updated on the news.

Thanks for any help here.

Go to versiontracker and search on "rss". I see several. Sorry,
NetNewsWire (which is what you really want) is X-only. m.

AmphetaDesk. It's a PERL script, but it comes as a complete app. Works
with your browser (I use Mozilla), and itworks just fine on OS 9.0.4.
