Prblem with NNTP is that all of its subscription and last read information is
kept on the client side, so moving between devices becomes problematic.

I can live without that, it's a capability I'd rarely need (VNC can allow this
when push comes to shove). :)

That would be useful, but the bigger issue for me is that what's read on one
device doesn't show up as read on the next.
