As Marshall McLuhan once said, "News, far more than art, is artifact." With that aphorism in mind, users looking to consolidate their preferred "artifact" sources online, will find that NewsMac 2.3 is a handy program to have on their computer. Essentially, NewsMac "brings together all your favorite news web sites" and lets users view the current headlines. This latest version of NewsMac also allows users to copy channel headlines as text or HTML, along with support for displaying non-Roman characters (such as Japanese) in headlines. NewsMac 2.3 is compatible with all systems running Mac OS 10.2 and higher. [KMG]
