I don't feel bad for paying. Watanabe deserves the money. It's an excellent reader. I've been using it since 2004 and I have 0 complaints. It's beautiful.

Have you tried this free version of NewsfIre? If you did, you probably have noticed that you cannot delete David Watanabe's blog RSS feed. That's the main reason why I sent it to the trash.
But there's more... Vienna and NetNewsWire are now both free. (Vienna has always been free.) And, IMHO, they're both better than NewsFire. They both have better (and nicer) interfaces, they are both easier to customize and both have built-in browsers (NewsFire has not).
Just one more thing... When NetNewsWire went free, NewsGator refunded the users who had bought a licence on the latest months. Why didn't the developer of NewsFire do just the same?

@tee_cee: I toooootally agree! I deleted the app when I noticed that Dave's feed cannot be removed. Unacceptable, although I know it can be deleted by using a little 'trickie' ...

@ dway:
I'm curious about that "trickie"...

Beautiful this app may be, but unless you only subscribe to a small handful of feeds it simply isn't designed to handle the load.

I bought this app way back when it was still a shareware title... good app, loved using it. They only thing I hated is that it couldn't sync my feeds between my macpro and my macbook... which is why I switched to newsnetwire when it became free... newgator syncs it all... BUT I do like the interface and the way it blends into the OS... if only there was a way to sync newsgator with newsfire...

I got the fix gribskov talked about to work. Just follow those directions exactly!

Unfortunately the fix only restores notification -- the ability to delete an incoming e-mail from the notification screen doesn't work....that was a key feature for me. I wish I hadn't upgraded to Leopard -- its 300 so-called features don't make up for the loss of Mail.appetizer. I'm not joking.

1.3b1 works in Leopard :) Hooray.
