No. That wasn't added until the version that came with 10.5 or 10.4 as I recall. Mail is a crappy RSS reader anyway. The one Dan suggested won't run on 10.2. Try SlashDock <http://www.openendsoftware.com/slashdock/> (you'll need to upgrade to 10.2.8 to use it) In a quick runthrough of various RSS apps, this is the only one that runs under Jag. Lesson: 10.2 is fast receding into obsolescence. Right now it's the 'Windows 95' of OS X versions. (which, yes, makes 10.1.5 the equivalent of Windows 3.1. 10.0? Windows 3, DEFINITELY, same feel. It was cool, and you could run a few things in it, but if you wanted to do real work, you had to go back to DOS. Apple never made anything so crude as Windows 1.0. If I could just find some way of reading ancient 360K 5 1/4" disks on my Mac I still have a copy of Windows 1 around here somewhere. That would be kicky getting it running under a VM... :-) SO much of OSX changed under the hood between 10.3 and 10.4 that 10.4 and 10.5 SHOULD have been called OS X 11. (and a hella advertizing campaign that would have been! We'd have gotten 'Spinal Tap' back together years before they did reunite: "This OS X goes to Eleven!!!!") -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
