Marconi is a simple HyperCard based Newsgroup Off-Line Reader. This is the first version and in the future there will be other version if people write to me suggestion, impression, opinion on Marconi.
I am a student and Marconi is a Challenge for me, a challenge to create a simple, easy to use and cheap newsreader.
Marconi has no limit in UNREGISTERED version, you should only wait 10 seconds every time you use it and it write, at the end of every news, that you are using an unregistered version.
I hope you agree Marconi, and that it may be a simple way to connecting-people.
