Ah, in the early transition era. When serious EDA was trying to understand how to migrate to cheap mass produced HW instead of expensive
*nix workstations and EDA capable PC class HW was only comparatively economical compared to *nix workstations. Who else remembers TIGA cards?

Dunno, that might be in the hockey puck range of SCRs.

Okay, I hope the friend with the stud SCRs still got some hockey puck ones I didn't imagine ever wanting ;)

It is not so much that people don't keep it running, but that there has been no support for years (other than switching to seamonkey or perhaps firefox & thunderbird).
I have both Firefox and Seamonkey running right now. The only problem with the old Netscape is that it chokes on today's bloated web pages.

The mailer in NS 4.75 is a lot more reliable than Seamonkey or Thunderbird, at least for NNTP.

NNTP seems to be the poor cousin for getting clients. I haven't found a Linux client worth changing to yet.

I've tried several different NNTP programs and always went back to Netscape. This is the 4.8 version which I think was the last version released. I was in a hurry when I moved to a different computer. I was using the 4.76 for Windows 95 that I first installed years ago. This time I just installed the software and created the user name I had on the last computer, then overwrote all of the data files. It saved me a couple hours, but I guess it was time for the slight change. The only other NNTP program I use is Xnews to download the multipart files on ABSE and ABPR newsgroups.
Don't take this the wrong way, but when I see your full name with the 'C', I think of Calvin & Hobbs. :)

I don't mind at all--having my name remind people of one of the cultural highlights of the late 20th Century is all to the good.
Actually, the stripy guy is Hobbes with an 'e', as in Thomas Hobbes the philosopher. TH was the guy who thought that natural man lived by the law of the jungle. His most famous quote is that "the life of man [in a state of nature] is solitary, nasty, brutish, and short."

Have you tried Pan?

But I'm far more fuel efficient.

Pan's a poor workalike of Agent from way back, can't stand it ;)
I'll probably run Agent in a VM'd windoze, down the track. Maybe something will turn up. There's other reasons to stay with win for now. Agent is only shareware I paid for, back in '96 and a couple more times to stay current. Good value. I don't do binaries, but Agent is also good for large email lists like lkml -- treats them somewhat like news groups.

Try drinking a gallon of gas and see how far you go. ;)
