program

My favorite is Xnews because (in no particular order):

a) It supports X-Faces.

b) Posts in a thread are all color-coded so it's very easy to tell who said what.

c) It allows you to post without word wrap (great for those long URLs).

d) Supports multiple servers/users all within a single session.

e) Allows you to change header information for each post in real time.

f) Supports multiple identities.

g) Handles multipart binaries beautifully.

h) Allows you to selectively reconstruct threads.

i) Shows header information with a single click.

j) E-mail and newsgroup post from a single editing session.

k) Single-click X-No-Archive.

etc.

I'm running Win98SE on an old Digital P-Pro 200 at work, only because I have to use a USB printer - it works pretty well. There is much to be said about 'vintage machines.'

Even now, I buy old DOS software for my archive, everything from MicroFocus COBOL to Clipper, things that I could never afford back in the 80's. I have a TON of old DOS business applications packed away. I still believe that DOS will make a comeback, if the Internet ever falls out of favor. If it weren't for the Internet, we'd still all be using DOS boxes, IMO.

All of those seem fine & dandy... but more than I *need*. I like OE 6. It has what I need w/out too much fluff. Cya.
