Even though it seems moribund now. Latest version 22 Dec 2006. An update does seem overdue. -- Michael mhphillips at gmail dot com

I've had no problems with Hogwasher since 2004 but now that I've switched to Snow Leopard and Intel it's unusable. I don't want to start another of those "what's the best newsreader" threads so I'll just play around with what's available, confining myself to those that have received an update in the last 12 months. Trying Unison now and can't say that I'm impressed. It seems to be more tailored for binaries than text. -- Michael mhphillips at gmail dot com |
