getting RBM and other newsgroups

Seeing as we're all the traveling sort, do any of you get the newsgroup on
a PDA of any kind?

Mr. Gates made such a big deal about Outlook being a universal inbox, but
Outlook Mobile for PocketPC is strictly mail, no news. When I had a palm
Pilot, many years ago, there were shareware and pay applications for NNTP
but the PocketPC market is so small, I don't think anyone's written one.
My nephew & I were collaborating, also many years ago, on server-side WAP
apps for phones and PDAs, but he got all squirrely before we finished the
network news stuff.

So, how do you folks get the groups in your pockets?

By carefully lining up the shots, but not calling them.

How's 'bout a friendly game of one-pocket? :-)

I'm just trying to get it on a desk machine. Sunsite just emailed me --
they're only giving free newsfeed after October 15 to Danes. So then I
signed up for Teranews, but apparently I don't have OE configured right. I
emailed help, and it bounced back saying that my message appeared to be
spam. I'll email them for work -- maybe I'll look less like a spammer with a
dot org address. Still, my attitude is "feh".

Opera browser and groups.google.com seems to be a painless solution.

Thanks, but that's PalmOS. Damn Bill Gates anyway. He did the same thing
with Pocket Access. Why do I keep buying into this stuff?

Google is my low-priority back up. But they don't refresh fast enough for
on-the-road utility. Thanks, though.

According to today's newspaper, Palm is installing MS Windows Mobile on it's
new devices. The Palm OS days are numbered.

It looks like Bill Gates really is out to take over the world! And here I
was thinking it was just another product of my fevered imagination.

Anyone who believes in a liberal media has never read the "Daily Oklahoman."

So will WM get me mobile NNTP, do you think? Is this more overhead to take
up pocket resources? This is bad. I've always been a Palm guy since they
came out; I only use PocketPC because it's easier to do Office documents.
But PalmOS has a necessary elegance arising from it's essential simplicity.
Windoes is just the opposite. I remember when I first got a Palm Pilot. I
was amazed and dumbstruck that there was a machine that would just run
programs and not crash, not take time to boot, not freeze, not do anything
except work. Then I got the PocketPC and got jolted back to reality.

Is that rec.bicycles.misc in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
