There is an old adage: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I have used The Bat ver. 1.62R since it came out. I didn't upgrade to ver. 2, nor to the most recent release. I have been perfectly happy with The Bat. It does what I want it to do. I have never had a virus infection (my E-Trust EZ antivirus has adequately detected any virus laden e-mail) and I never felt the need to use PGP, bayesit(sp?)--whatever it is, IMAP--whatever it is, or templates. I do like that the Bat can manage my multiple accounts and multiple folders extremely well and let me know the size of each. So, since it "ain't" broke, why fix it, or, in this case, upgrade? I am no Luddite (otherwise, I wouldn't even be using this computer), but I also have no desire or time to spend hours learning how to use features for which I have no apparent use.
1. For me, what would I gain by upgrading to ver. 3.0? 2. For similar reasons I have not yet installed Microsoft's SP2. (I once installed SP1, only to uninstall it after it slowed my pc down to a crawl.) However, is SP2 compatible with The Bat ver. 1.62r or, should I upgrade to ver. 3.0 if I intend to install SP2? -- Avi Avram Sacks Chicago running (at home only) The Bat ver 1.62r, with XP Professional ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
