Arden: it certainly does have a feature to sync with NewsGator, but my point was that all the syncing functionality turns out to be overkill for me.

You’d think NNW would have an option to query NewsGator as to which entries you’ve read already, since you can set as much on Newsgator.com anyway. Maybe in the next version.

Zachery: Yeah, I usually look at an article and the time it was last updated, and think “yeah, I was on my other computer at that time.”

Jan: That’s probably a better solution, but it requires such sophistication :) Copying things back and forth?! I’ll always forget !

I use the wild-west approach of simply copying over ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire before (~5%, too) I take my PowerBook out.

So long as the cue article hasn’t been updated in the meanwhile. Then you might miss some articles in the time between.
