I looked at the header and assumed he was
using Forte Agent. It appears that Ken is a big
spender. He seems to use forte only for usenet.
And Outlook for email. I can't imagine why
someone would spend so much. $100? $150?
I've never used Outlook. I don't know what it
costs alone. I guess if I'd spent $150 for
email and newsgroups then I wouldn't
want to like TB either.


I think Outlook comes/came as part of Office, some editions; I don't
even know if you _can_ get it separately, unless you're a big corporate
and buying into an Outlook server too (where it works reasonably well).
Some companies have in the past - I don't know if they still can do this
- arranged to have their employees get Office for home use, either free
or for $5 or something like that, on the (theoretical I'm sure!)
understanding that they'll remove it if they cease to be employees.

Anything you add for security will slow the computer but it shouldn't be
significant or prolonged. Security software is to protect the computer, not
the primary use of the computer.
