And you can run other programs without any problem at all? Then switch.
Yes, I mean it, I did it too.
Suggestions:
o for browser: Netscape (free), Opera (not free, but the best)
o for the mail program: Netscape (but only one POP account), Becky
(shareware, at Tucows), Kaufmann MailWarrior (Shareware, but not
expiring, at Tucows). I use Becky, it has the most options (eg for
mailinglists), but it is not free.
o for News: Don't ever think about OE for news-reading... it simply
sucks. Use Xnews instead, it's free and fast and small. Find it at
Tucows. You can also try ForteAgent or so, but Xnews is the best.
(btw, if you are looking for these programs via Tucows, follow the link
to the website of the makers and download there. Tucows hasnt always the
latest version.)
You might think that switching isnt worth it. I thought that too, but
now that I've done it, I'm so much happier, and I dont want to go back.
(this sounds like a commercial for soap...)
