gNews ReviewThis is not bad software. - Version: 0.1, 9/4/2004 06:45AM PST

This is not bad software. It is hosted on a misconfigured server, true, but that's no reason to give it a one-star rating. Just option-click to download. Now, for the app. In the menu, the app resides as the G google icon. Once in the menu, it looks and feels a little like MacBiff, only it looks better. Each news/menu item contains the topic, time and a short summary. It looks good. It works good. It feels good. However... Entering the preferences doesn't work if the app is moved after having been launched. Exiting the preferences seem to crash gNews. That's bad. Anyways. Feature request: You know how the internet connect menu item and airport menu item scrolls text when it has information to show you? It'd be neat if gNewsMenu did the same when it recieved a new headline. Fix the bug, add that feature, and it's probably a 5 star app.

If your browser does not understand .sitx format just alt-click on the link... this is not a problem of my program. And fi you change your language you need to quit gNews and start it again (in this version).

Option-Click will download file. I opened the programs prefs and changed it to USA. The program locked up. Needs more work before I'll try again.
