I have used Forte Agent free and otherwise since early in the 20th
century. (I friend uses it also for mail but I use Thunderbird.)

There is a list of newsreaders at
http://www.big-8.org/articles/n/e/w/Newsreaders.html.

May I borrow your time machine?

USENET clients don't grow on trees.

Of course any newsreader list is going to look "crusty".

If you don't put a whole bunch of entries, then users will
belch up the "this list isn't complete!" complaint. And if
you include everything, the complaint will be "did you
get this list from the Smithsonian?". I don't see how
anyone providing a list, can win at this. They will
always **** off somebody.

There's someone in another group, using (and apparently
enjoying) TRN. Presumably some kinda steam punk. So if
you think any particular client is "too old", yes,
there's somebody still using it. There are people who
love to memorize a hundred keyboard shortcuts, to run
a news client. This is just "human nature".

Glad you got those right, rather than the typical fence-post (one off)
error that assumes 1900-1999 rather than the correct 1901-2000.

Who knew?

You missed my point. What time period is identified by "early in
the 20th century"?

And I use Agent, too.
