I tried Agent a few times and found it overly complex for simple
email/usenetting.

It takes a while to get it customized but once you do, it is very easy
to run.
Like most windoze apps, that complexity is actually just the ability
to make it what you want and not what some guy in California decided
you wanted.

The other great thing about this version of Agent is it is just an EXE
file. You don't "install" it. You can copy the directory off to a
thumb drive and take it with you, running on any windoze machine you
are sitting on. When you take the drive out, it is gone from that
machine without a trace and you have the updated database with you.
That is handy if you want to log on from a hotel machine..


I suppose, but if I am traveling, I can get my email and just about
anything other connections for which I'd use a computer for on my cell
phone, and if I am out of town, I have my laptop. I've never used a
hotel computer or a business center computer.

I still used Thunderbird for email and usenet, and it "customizes"
easily to suit my needs. The Apple-branded email program is too slick
for my taste.
