SharePoint 2003 RSS Feed Reader Web Part

Has anyone seen or has implemented a RSS Reader as a Sharepoint 2003 web part?

The key feature a I looking for is the ability of the web part to remember whether an item in a feed has been read or not, similar to most desktop rss readers.  The other requirement is that it can not use custom database tables or database.

A couple of good RSS Reader web parts I have found are:

  Jan Tielens - RSS Reader Webpart for SharePoint
  Tim Hueres - RSS FeedReader 

The issue is they do not retain the read state of a individual RSS item.

Ideas, thoughts, things to try....
