And, BTW, although some folks find Agent to be incredibly complex, it's really pretty simple to use.
Besides, I'm only a phone call away.
That should be funny: Herring the computer moron giving computer
software advice.
Hey, at least he can run Agent, the one you find too complex!
I never said or implied I couldn't run agent. I just find it too complex
for the simple task of reading a couple of usenet groups with very few
postings. It's very very dated software, even though it is out in a
newer version.
Once you get Agent configured for your use it is very simple to
operate. The other good thing is the version I use does not really get
"installed" so it can run from a thumb drive on any machine and when
you pull the drive out it is gone without a trace. Everything stays on
the thumb drive. That is handy if you use more than one machine.
Agent is really aimed at binary users tho.
I am not sure what you mean by "dated". Usenet itself is dated and
hasn't changed in a decade or two. Why would the software have to
change?
Crap, now Harry is going to duplicate what you do!
