I use Agent 1.5 for news only. That's what it's best at.

Good judgment, Paul. Otherwise Marc will be in on this one with
fangs barred. But you see, here I'm going against my own
blatherings. I use R because it lets me do well most of what the
Viso does and is a lot more convenient, to me at least, when
transitioning between Viso specific stuff and every day, walking
around stuff. But then, most would argue that an M is better for
most walking around stuff. Oh me, decisions, decisions.
