I'm still using the 1.93 version of Agent. Those newer versions with
all their extra nonsense folders and gimmicks I didn't need. I'm not
an obsessive who has to have a formal, detailed record of every post I
ever made, every person I ever posted to nor whatever other gimmicks
those newer versions had that I've forgotten about. Matter of fact, I
toyed with one new version for about 10' minutes before dumping it and
going back to 1.93.
The reason of *simplicity* is why I still use XP. If you peruse any of
the Win 10 or 11 groups you can see what a mess Redmond made of what
was a simple OS.
But then, What does a simple minded non- tech know about all this
software "progress" - except that many times that "progress" has
ruined some really good software.
