Heh.  I am one of those old people and I started using Netscape .9 for
linux.  I even used Mosaic a few times!

I THINK I heard of that, but it's pretty dim. I did use lynx, though.
And pine and tin.

I'm still using tin. I also used pine, but went to mutt. I used Lynx
earlier today on a web site that had its annoying paywall. Yeah, I'mn
old school!

Yes, I'm still using tin too, and I also use mutt.  I use lynx with
mutt to view HTML E-mail.

I use slrn.

I couldn't get into slrn. :/

I use alpine, although I hacked it a bit, to allow offline news reading
and not online only as the default alpine does.

I have leafnode on my system (that I use with tin), so it's
effectively offline.  Leafnode is a doddle to install and it means you
never have to notice when news-servers are slow or not working
perfectly for some other reason.

Yes, leafnode is part of my "hack". Very good piece of software and does
its job very well! =) I fear that it will eventually fade away and stop
compiling on modern linux systems. =(

I personally just use slrnpull, its easy to set up and is designed to
work with slrn so yeah ^^
Also slrnpull is why every post i make is on a multiple of 10
