- I concur.

- I first used Waffle to get introduced to Usenet news and then just for
- reading and replying. For individuals who only seek Usenet and Email,
- Waffle may be good enough, albiet it is a heck of a lot to setup just
- for personal use.
-
- The UUCICO.exe requires a subset of the waffle file structure to work so
- I plan to maintain that minimum. Meanwhile, I already have a BBS in
- place and can easily import/export Usenet. Soon, I will only require
- UUCICO to my host.

- What is Chrome? It is mentioned in Waffle docs, but it is not
- described.
