Come now, don't exaggerate. My degree is in electrical engineering and I've only had one class on linear algebra, but I manage to use UNIX newsreaders just fine. (In the interest of full disclosure, I do, however, have a friend who is a rocket scientist.) There are lots of good (and bad) newsreaders listed at the Good Netkeeping Seal of Approval testing page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~js/gnksa/gnksa-evaluations.html You'll notice that Forte Free Agent is on the `failed' list.
