From: James Leo Ryan on 23 Jan 2010 17:53 I have become increasingly concerned that there has been no update to Hogwasher in several years. Because of that I am giving Unison (the recent version 2 release) a look. The one feature of Hogwasher I feel I will miss is the graphic thread display. I'm curious as to whether others have made a switch from Hogwasher to Unison, and how the experience has been to them. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

My list is probably completely different form his. For a start, mine is much older. But I think I see a similarity in theme. The following is directly copied from my own notes to myself on my evaluation of Unison. I wasn't sure I still had this around, but I appear to. This was 5 years ago. I'm sure things have changed since then. The specific issues are quite likely to have been fixed. But the underlying philosophy seems unlikely to have changed - that the stuff I consider fundamental, they seem to treat as an afterthought. Unison. Tried v 1.5.2 on 23 Nov 04. Commercial. Costs $25. Emphasis looks like it is on fluff that I don't use, such as music files, instead of basics. Hmm. That's exactly what some 3rd party comments say. Keeping track of read messages at all seems to have been a recent afterthought addition, and the option to mark a message as unread seems not to do anything. I never tried posting, but I'm slightly concerned about the lack of mention of fundamental posting issues like whether it sends plain text "reasonably". No searching facilities that I noticed. -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain

I tried Unison and didn't like it, but it was so long ago that I don't remember why. -- Wes Groleau Promote multi-use trails in northeast Indiana! http://www.NorthwestAllenTrails.org/

There's a new version. You might want to try it out and see what you think. -- .... something witty goes here ... |
