Google reader causes my computer to crash intermittently. As in instant ,5 second long improper shutdown, No other app does this, so not going to try to diagnose, Any recs on alternate RSS reader? Client based rather than web based is fine. Thanks.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Bloglines (another free online reader) is OK. I switched from Bloglines to Google Reader due to Bloglines being down too much, but I don't know if it's improved since then.
I've never used a dedicated app for reading RSS feeds, but there are some good ones....

Give Feed Demon a try. It needs IE7 to be installed, though.

I use Google Reader with Firefox & XP on a PC and haven't had any trouble with it. The missus uses Bloglines on similar hardware and likes it.
