I like it -- makes it usable in (say) an airplane.

>No Yenc support is a mistake.

It's primarily for legitimate traffic (text), not warez.

Does it download the whole newsgroup to memory before you leave the

It does indeed sync (download) the number of new messages you specify.

If the iPhone and iPad are really so impressive,
then why do iFans keep making excuses for them?

Anything like that, John, for an older Nokia with the sort of J2ME
environment in which Opera Mini can just about run (lo-fi version),
or for a Moto RAZR V3 (capable of running Opera Mini hi-fi)?

Even read-only would be welcome :-) .

TIA; and cheers, -- tlvp
