I was wondering if anyone knows of a good news reader?
Good in this case being defined as
a) intelligent
b) powerful
c) easy to use (something you could teach your dog in about 5 minutes)
 
Second, I need to find a simple page editor for a novice.
Something that would be called from the above news reader.
 
Lastly, is anyone aware of a text retrieval system?
Something that could search 10 years worth of comp.unix.wizards
for a specific word or phrase maybe?

Please email me, as I can't read these newsgroups.  I can
only post.  

Thanks for your help!

(Still trying to find a newsfeed; if there are any kind souls
in the LA area, would appreciate your help!)

Andy
