Hi,

>2. I can't run it anymore. I mean it runs once and then when I exit it says:

The problem with the SQLException is somehow strange - did you update 
your lib directory and your manifest file? Is a hsqldb.jar file in your 
lib and a Class-Path reference to the jar in your manifest?

The big pro of the database ist that its very fast and if you store a 
large number of articles this will get performance critical...

Hm, what do you think about a "switchable" look - email client like and 
the old list look?

I removed this options from UI they are still in the model. I can put 
that back. Am I right if this switch should trigger that only the actual 
feed content should be displayed and old items regardless if they were 
read or unread should be dropped?
