I never used a mail client on my old computers, but I got a sweet new HP with Vista (still getting used to the upgrade) and I love it. I have always used Mozilla, but with my new computer I decided to add Thunderbird as well. I love it so far. I have my university, my personal, and the fraternity office’s (well, the one I hold) email all gathered into one place. It works great. It also has the RSS feeds, and I have never used these before.

I added a RSS feed for CNN headline news, because I love having news available quickly. Now I am at a loss. Other than the Dope, I don’t go to that many sites every day, but I would consider having a feed from some. I just have no idea what…

So, Dopers, do you use RSS for news - or anything else? What feeds do you get?

My eBay favorite searches. Every time something I am always on the lookout for is posted for auction, I hear about it right away.

Same with Craigslist.
