I've resurrected my old Bigpond Account and am about to get back on the net 
(dialup) with my 14 inch 700Mhz iBook (been living in a caravan with no phone 
access for 3 years).

The last time I was connected to the net at home I was using a G3 iMac using OS 
9.

I think from memory I was using NewsWatcher to read the newsgroups, but I can't 
remember what the email application was.

Can anyone advise what the best Mac newsgroup and email programs are these days 
(especially when using Bigpond)?

I'm running on OS X 10.2.6 but can boot up from OS X 10.1.4 and OS 9.

I'll download Safari as soon as I connect.

Richard Kay.
