AOL is starting to get cranky with me because I still use AOL 7.0 They can't make me watch their ads on 7. AOL 9.x looks like Yahoo with a screen full of crap I am not interested in. I like Thunderbird. I had used it years ago on other computers. I've tried different versions of Agent but never liked them much. Thunderbird works just fine for both email and newsgroups and made John happy because it conforms to newsgroup protocol in terms of how it handles signatures. :-) Another comment regarding Usenet. I realize things change but it's really regrettable that newsgroups became available via web based forums like "Goggle Groups" and others. When that started the whole culture of usenet began to change resulting in people like the clown in Canada (the "other" Scott) having easy access to newsgroups. There were always debates and disagreements but they had a different flavor than now. I'd love to see web based access to newsgroups disappear. For those who still want access, there are free newsgroup servers and free readers (like Agent and Thunderbird) available. I happen to subscribe to Giganews as a server for $4 a month and it's well worth it to get a few chuckles here every other day. I get Giganews via Earthlink, included in my internet. But I think I have read where you can subscribe to Giganews for about $29 a year. |
