Funny you should ask. :-)  About 2 minutes ago I un installed it as I
have been checking out Agent for a few days and now see what a real 32
bit offline mail/news reader can do.  I now have 8 more Meg of HD
space.

A 16 bit Visual Basic 3.0 app, no less!  The 'slow' I could have lived
with but the BUGS drove me up a wall, not to mention the upgrade from
hell that blew up on the first try!

Hi Chris and thanks again for the tip on Agent.

Here is a return favor.  Check out ACDsee95 for a VERY slick picture
reader that works well with Agent's  jpg, gif, etc!!!!  This one is
awesome and can't be beat for speed, reliability, and great features.
It is reasonably priced and I WILL register this one.
