Yeah, I'm trying out Xnews. Trying to get used to its interface. Not
sure if I like it or not yet. Bill is wrong about one thing. I do NOT
have an apple. I'm using an IBM T30 laptop. Apples are for eating. ;-)
I liked Forte Agent but had a problem yesterday that seemed to affect
several of my applications including Agent so I figured I'd try something
new. I've never tried Outlook Express. Is it free? (I'm a cheapskate.)
How do you like it?

I can hammer it back into shape later...

Re: OT test of new newsreader - pls ignore
Using outlook express is like hanging the keys for your house out on a
tree in the front yard with a sign saying 'here you go, come on it'.
Before you go near that program, make sure you have the latest upgrades
for windows, there are about 6 out in the last year and make sure you
have a bullet proof virus catcher.
All the viruses out on the internet are written specifically to infect
outlook users.
I use Netscape to browse the www and get mail and read newsgroups.
In Netscape, my norton anti virus will catch anything coming in.
Netscape also allows you to delete suspicious files. Outlook will get
infected just by passing you mouse across some files.
Outlook also uses some funky new HTML code that 'only' other outlook
users can read. Billy boy decided if you aren't using microcrap, you
don't deserve to be able to read anything 'his' users write.
