What is TB. Your description of using a newsreader was sufficiently
interesting that I started to investigate. When I clicked on your
link it started Outlook Express for the first time in my life. I
quickly exited. Went to Firefox, and found that Firefox handles News,
though it is quite clunky. I don't really want an RSS feed that will
swamp this little laptop. When I get the big box rebuilt that will be
OK, but for now... Well, you know.

TB is ThunderBird: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/thunderbird/
It's a free mail/news reader that runs on Windows, *nix and, I believe,
Mac. It comes from the same stable (Mozilla) that Firefox comes from.
You say "when I clicked your link ...". What link was that? I doubt I
sent a link to Outlook Express. Thunderbird looks remarkably like
Outlook Express. Browsers like Firefox and Internet Explorer handle News
but, as you say, in a clunky fashion. TB (and most other mail readers
like Outlook Express) also handle News but, typically, in a less clunky
fashion.
News isn't RSS. RSS isn't News. News in this context is NNTP. It's been
around since about 1986. It's also known as Usenet. RSS dates from about
1999. I don't know of another name for it.
