Okay ... I upgraded the production systems to 3.0, I am impressed by all the new bells and whistles and imaginative abuses of colours ...

But then I found out neither Newsbase 2.1.1 nor NewsGrazer will work! Both readers will start up and select the groups just fine, but the application will disappear from the screen the moment I select an article for reading. So, I have resorted to reading news on a Sun Sparcstation sitting beside the NeXT. Does anyone know a NeXTstep nntp newsreader that will work under 3.0?

While I am at it, the more I use 3.0, the more I get pissed off! The server crashed twice in the last two days with a "Workspace Error 1000" ... what does it mean? Why isn't the user manual included on my 3.0 CD-ROM? Why doesn't Appleshare work as advertised? Hell ... it doesn't work at all! Is NeXT using paying customers to beta test NS 3.0? When will 3.1 be available? It better be a free upgrade!
