I did say "seems". I just thought it odd that someome who signs MaryL
would choose stancole1 as an email address... I never paid attention
to your info previously... just forget I said anything about it. Still
Forte Agent works well as a newsreader, and you won't need to doctor
your attributions anymore which will help immensely at keeping who
wrote what straight. Even I who is no computer maven had no problem
with the set up and navigating about, I probably use a minimum of
Forte Agent's features and I'm not one to do much
investigating/exploring with software lest I can't find my way back,
but it works well for my needs... I especially like that I can arrange
the fonts, colors, and layout to make it easy on my eyes. I pay about
$30/month which I feel is worth not having to deal with the hassles
and time wasting associated with the free newsreaders. Think about
it.
