Both usability and configurability are great.

I echo the sentiment. I've used it since the early 90's (when it

Cool thread! :)

For me it's been a Bash-shell using Pine for email since '95 and at
the same time it was Tin & Pico for newsgroups. Not about to switch
to anything else neither. :)

And thank you Eduardo, for fixing my tinrc file so using Pico is
even better. :)

I quit computers when they switched "up" from Dos 3.3 ...until '95
when my son showed me rec.knives.
