The RSS feed reader NetNewsWire is now free. Some years ago I used it quite a lot, but nowadays I'm using Google Reader, which does a fine job. However, maybe it is time to re-evaluate NetNewsWire. However, the advantage of having RSS feeds automatically up-to-date on any system I happen to be using is hard to replace. Thus, Google Reader will prevail, I think.

Not (yet) using Leopard -- Comment()
I today upgraded the memory on my iMac to 4 GB. Having several active accounts running simultaneously slowed the system a bit every once in a while, but new everything is running smoothly. I'm running EyeTV, iTunes, several web browsers etc. simultaneously, and sometimes there are jobs running in the background consuming all free cpu cycles. (For example, video format conversion.) The children have been playing games, drawing, experimenting a lot on this system. The iMac has been stable without problems for a couple of months now. I'm not rushing into Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) yet. I'm still waiting for version 10.5.2, and perhaps even version 10.5.3, until the upgrade. However, some new software requires (or recommends) using Leopard, so the time to switch is near.
