... after an exhaustive search and experimentation, I conclude that RSS readers are not a functional thing for OS X 10.3.9. I tried all the free ones, including a couple browsers that spozedly do RSS (Camino, Firefox). They all either crashed and burned or couldn't read the feeds, or, in the case of Firefox, spawned counteless tabs in an effort to resolve feeds. ... I use Safari and Firefox and they work just fine. Are you sure that there isn't something wrong with the feed? Many are pretty dodgy. Craig
