Pros: great for newsgroups and regular email Cons: Not a piece of cake in my opinion
Forte Agent is a newsreader, the best I've been told by many, including the person who sold it to me and said it was 'piece of cake to use. Quite frankly, after almost 4 months I'm still trying to figure out whether I like it or not, and just what those...
Pros: Free, multi-tasking Cons: lack of features, difficulty with binaries
Most Windows 95/98 users stick to Microsoft's bloatware Internet suite for all of their Internet needs. I am one who likes to use a program that is specifically designed to handle a specific task.
Pros: The runaway fave in Usenet. Cons: Email client isn't for everybody
Do you participate in multiple email lists and use separate email identities in each list? IF so, don't use Agent: it doesn't handle multiple email identities. For example, you can't say, "If I respond to a message in my WindowsHelpList folder,...
Pros: easy, full-featured, highly configurable Cons: remarkable for its newsreader, not email
Forte Agent. It's why I bother with Usenet.
Those are bold words, considering there are many fine newsreaders for different platforms to choose from. But let's say that you use Windows. And you want to be a full-on Usenet participant. Then...
Pros: Extraordinarily powerful, lots of utilities, great value, super-reliable Cons: None
Since Usenet is not as well-known as the Web, I'm separating this review into two parts: general Usenet/newsreader information, and Agent-specific information.
Pros: Makes unruly Usenet manageable Cons: Please have your credit card number ready
I have yet to see a T-shirt that says "Whip me, beat me, but don't make me read Usenet on the Web." I figure, though, it's just a matter of time; if your interest in the world's most extensive collection of discussion groups is more than...
Pros: Crafted with care and has everything I need in an email client. Cons: Lacks some features provided by the market leaders.
I've been using Forté Agent since well before the company released version 1.0; in fact, I served as a beta tester for much of that time. The program is still my favorite email client. I simply wouldn't use another unless forced to do so. I didn't...
Pros: easy interface, customizable Cons: spam in groups (nothing to do with forte agent though)
Forte Agent Newsreader is the definitive newsgroup software on the market. Forte Agent has an easy interface that is interchangable to your liking. You can view a list of available groups and the messages in a group at the same time, or you can view...
Pros: Low Cost, Lifetime updates, Filtering, Multi-part posts joined automatically Cons: Can't set up your own hot keys, Should be able to fill in part of an email address and have Agent supply a list of matching addresses from your address book
When I first signed up for the Internet, I was like a lot of people. "USENET? Sounds like a bunch of junk." As I got more experienced with the Internet I started exploring the USENET groups. I found that I really enjoyed the alt.binaries...
Pros: Simple to use, all kinds of options Cons: none
My computer wizard of a husband is the one who first showed me Forte Agent. Actually, we had Free Agent first, but he insisted that we switch. Now, I do not like change. I did not want to try this new idea of his, because I figured it would take...
Pros: Free Agent runs on 3.1! Cons: It has fewer of the filters than Agent.
If you're like me, you like freeware. And if you're like me, you like news. Forte Free Agent gives you both. It's an excellent newsreader for that USENET news you've been hearing about. There's some excellent info out there on the history and...
Pros: features, inexpensive Cons: lacks advanced features in outlook, netscape
Forte Agent, the best news program out there, that's really all that needs to be said. With it's unique interface and large collection of features it is above and beyond the other programs out there, and it is only $29. Some new users may get lost...
