Which one did you try? Because when it works properly, it can be sort of like receiving emails or usenet postings.

Personally, I love RSS. And have been lucky to find tools for handling RSS that work well for me. In barest terms, it's saved me roughly 2 hours a day that I spent on random surfing. YMMV, of course. Imagine what a dull world this would be if we all liked exactly the same things! Sure, we all have opinions, I wasn't dissing Lancer. Personally, I love RSS.

I mean, Chris has explained what it is, and if the OP wasn't reading then, it takes only a second to look it up. As far as the popularity of RSS, I don't disagree with you. But for information junkies with a working tool--it's a brilliant timesaver. I was under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that Mozilla had a built-in RSS reader. And yet, just because one tool hasn't worked for you doesn't necessarily make it "total crap". Before settling on NewsGator, I tried several other aggregators, and really, I'm sold on the idea, even though not everyone LIKES push content. Different strokes and all that. *le grand sigh* was based on the fact that many people don't try to find out an answer on their own first.

Chris is wrong about the popularity of this RSS thing. AmphetaDesk (suitable reader) just failed to build in my system. Until it becomes standard for browsers to read RSS (I'm using the very latest Mozilla) there's nothing to sigh about - it's total crap. No *le grand sigh* about it Marie.

RSS/Remote Site Syndication generates an XML file that will look like mumbojumbo if you try to just read it as a webpage. However, if you use a client that parses it, such as NewsGator or Syndirella or whatever, then you will be treated to a "push" form of the blog/webpage/whatever you normally have to go and visit. *le grand sigh*.

The Plantronics M1000 Bluetooth headset and the D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB dongle DONT WORK with this goddam phone. They recomend a Belkin Bluetooth dongle, and the amazingly overpriced Nokia headset. I spent saturday learning this the hard way. Bluetooth 1.1 specification be damned!!!
