The best looking, and functioning, GUIs of the 1990s were the Unix

For example, SGI were the pioneers of real-time 3D interfaces, back when
it took fiendishly expensive hardware to do such things. Again, today’s
real-time effects on *nix build on that heritage.

I'm not "back," I'm in Windows mostly because of the media I've
purchased through the Windows store. As for Betterbird, everything else
just sucks as a newsreader, and I'm not willing to sacrifice
functionality because the news servers I use can't get their act
together to produce a working server.

As long as you don't mind your connection to the server being insecure,
it works great. Blocknews, for its part, is a disaster whether you're
using SSL or not.

 
I'm pretty sure my eternal-september connection is not SSL secure either.

It might not be, but Eternal September's SSL certificate and connection
actually work. In Usenet-News.net's case, Betterbird outright can't find
or rejects whatever certificate they offer. Blocknews has a valid
certificate, but the SSL connection doesn't work right.
