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 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud apps conference Main Menu
