From the first moment the slick, quick and
painless install routine starts up, you know this is going to be
a good program. And it is - exceptionally good. The interface is
attractive, clean and intuitive, the set-up is made very simple
for you and the features list is most impressive. The ability to
create kill-files (filters) is built in, three basic ones to
protect you from spam are already set up. They can be applied to
individual newsgroups or all newsgroups, a typical example of the
high level of customization built into Gravity.
Anawave Gravity comes with a friendly, well illustrated tutorial
for absolute beginners, and enough sophistication and features to
please the very advanced user. It offers a unique image gallery
for posting and viewing images, a customizable toolbar, a whole
series of rules you can choose for the managing of the groups,
and off-line working.
My absolute favorite feature is the ability to strip HTML from
the groups before you see them - now THAT was designed by someone
who actually understands how Usenet works and what makes life
easier. Anawave Gravity is a well constructed, powerful and
user-friendly newsreader, fast-moving and a delight to use.
