Good RSS Reader

Anyone recommend a good RSS reader? I am currently using the builtin Firefox live bookmarks and while they work OK, I'd like something a little better. Suggestions?

Can't believe grimp isn't all over this post yet, he is in love with his.

Based on BeeJ's suggestion I used the Firefox plug-in Wizz RSS.

I highly recommend it.

I like the stand alone readers:

I am using RSS Bandit at work and I think the free version of Omea at home.

EDIT: Looks like OMEA Pro is now free.

Forgot to say which I liked best. OMEA by far. I only installed the RSS part so I dunno if all the other stuff that comes with it is good or not.

There is a benefit to the stand alone readers, however I sometimes forget I have it and it requires opening another window.

With WizzRss it's open every time I open the browser so I see the updates of the websites I watch all the time (like JiFF)

OK, I've looked all over. Where is the RSS feed for the forums?

I made it a sticky in the Jar, sorry forgot how old the post was and how far down on the list it was.
