One of the key downsides for me of an NNTP interface is that it's (as
far as I know) extremely difficult to set up a synchronised
environment across two or more PCs. For email, gmail, while not
perfect, is a reasonably good client, and I can use it on multiple
PCs. I know of no NNTP client with a comparable feature set that
tracks what I have and haven't read across multiple PCs, allows
posting, etc. If anyone can suggest such a client (which works on
Windows, but as it'd probably be web-based, that's probably less of a
limitation that normal), I'd be immensely grateful. I realise this is
off-topic, but I don't feel *too* guilty as this whole thread is
pretty off-topic :-)

PS Google groups and the gmane web interface need not apply - neither
are particularly friendly (to be polite...)
