Well, having just been forced to do a low-level format to try to cure the
weird system bugs mentioned in here recently, coinciding with a quiet week,
I'm thinking that now is a sensible time to look at possible software
changes.

I'm extremely happy with Claris Emailer 2 and WhatRoute (ping, traceroute,
etc, etc), so won't be changing those. But I'm open to suggestions for
everything else. I've put in brackets what I'm currently using:

- Newsreader (Newshopper 1.2)
- Web browser (Netscape Communicator)
- IRC (Ircle 3.something)
- FTP (Fetch)

In particular, I'm quite out of touch with video formats - I've seeing more
and more websites with motorcycling videos, and people also email me same,
but I haven't worked out how to view most of them. The main formats I've
seen are .avi and .rm.

All suggestions welcomed!

Ben
