I have not actually screwed with the way mine is set up for well over
a decade. I just keep cloning the original copy and fine tuning the

That was when it got the ability to handle yEnc and RAR files.
I use a couple of plug ins to break open more exotic binary packing
formats.
I might be in as much trouble as Harry if I had to start over with a
virgin version.

1.91 rings bells. That was a long time ago.

If it still works, why change?
The one I have set up for text groups is pretty small and I can copy
it to a thumb stick when I travel so it stays sync'ed to the groups I
am following and I can just copy it back when I get home.
You can plug that into any machine and run it without ever leaving a
trace behind when you pull it out. Sort of like sex with a rubber. ;-)

Hard drive blew up. I had wondered about using Agent while on the road, but figured it was
impossible. Used Google Groups, which is a PITA. Hadn't thought about putting Agent on a thumb
drive, or external drive of some sort. Is it possible to just copy and past the agent directory? Or
is there a bit more entailed?
