I use Agent to browse newsgroups and Opera to browse the net, if I
click on a link I open Internet Explorer and get a bunch of pop ups.

I hadn't realized that some people have text only service. What an
unfortunate limitation. I have downloaded a museum size art folio and
lots of music: classical, jazz, and oldies but goodies via the
newsgroups. Not possible with text only.

For me, it is easy to "subscribe" to a variety of newsgroups and
browse through those. Agent allows more than one window, so it would
be possible to have a text group in one window and a binary in
another.

In one art newsgroup I open the pictures in a folder I have
preselected, then I move the picture I want to keep to its permanent
home and delete the rest. In the alt.binaries.aquaria I purge all
after 2 days.

One other thing about web sites, they want information about the user.
I just changed email. Now, instead of a hundred spam emails a day, I
have none, so far. I don't sign up for any site without considering
the possibility of getting on "lists" again. With newsgroup, there is
no sign up. I simply at "rem" to my email address and avoid the
hassle.
