Trumpet News -- My first Newsreader; how could anyone not like
its ease of use and simplicity? Trumpet gets the job done quickly
and painlessly without flair and without distracting complexities. It
sorts articles on several different keys, includes word wrap, and has
limited threading capabilities. Unfortunately, at $40 Trumpet News
is overpriced, especially when compared to the cost of the other
newsreaders (free). This client also lacks many of the features found
in better newsreaders, including thread monitoring, kill-file,
autoselect, and filtering. Also, Trumpet News hasn't been updated
in well over a year. The on-line help is perfect for the novice news
user. Novice users will find both Trumpet News and WinVN great
newsreaders to start with, but will likely trade these clients in before
long. Positives: Relatively quick, good on-line help, easy to use
Negatives: Price tag, lack of features, needs an update badly
