Colin, this constant whining from you has become extremely wearing; I
don't see anyone telling YOU to throw out your machine and get a new
one. Your reactionary posts to people with Windows95 and/or Outlook
Express are not helpful; in fact they are downright mean and no number
of little smiling faces at the end of such posts will excuse their
content. Please refrain now. (I'd e-mail this but, well... never mind;
that's another boring story.)

Oh, and incidentally, Sarah, Forte FreeAgent is a fine way to read the
news and it is compatible with Windows95. Here is their homepage.

http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.htm

You can download their FREE Agent. You'll find the box to click on on
the page after the heading "HOW DO I GET AGENT PRODUCTS?".


Oh, and Colin, just to stop you from imagining that I am only a Win95
type, depending on which computer I am at, I use both Lynx and Win95.



NOTE: I do not pick up my mail from the idirect address that you
see. If you are e-mailing me and hit the reply button, add an "e"
to "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
