Since getting a Lucent WaveLAN Silver Turbo, my Newt has regained its place as my primary computing device. Its not the greatest surfing tool but I have found tools & methods that work.
I use Courier for Googling and other searching because it is very fast. If graphic content is important or I want to make a book of the content, I'll use Newts Cape. Sure its slow but it works well. Saving graphics for Avi's backdrop is a cool feature too.
Simple Mail works for me. I could be wrong but the others didn't offer allow for different POP & SMTP usernames. Eudora would be my other choice.
I haven't found a great solution for many dicussion forums that I frequent. I wish Courier allowed for entry/form fieIds for searchs, site authentication, etc.. Courier also has a problem with multiple page discussions on some forums.
I hope that helps!
