   Review - GeoShell

   4.11.9 Beta (Oct 12, 2004)

   I've been following geoshell for, um, far too long (;
   
   I had some issues with early 4.10 and 4.11 revisions, but 4.11 eventually did stabilize. The current 4.11.9, with a clean install, has presented me with a shell that's been as stable as my prior Explorer experiences and most crashes I experience are plugin related rather than the shell itself.
   
   There are some limitations to the menu system and such, but I use this shell on a couple systems full-time with quite the success.
   
   The installation can cause some headaches in some cases, but the geoshell site forums are pretty responsive.

   Review - ExeDesk Professional

   0.9.0 Beta (Aug 26, 2004)

   Based on a little while playing around with the beta, it seems like a decent vwm with a couple extra options. If you're running explorer, some of the options seem a bit redundant (such as a quicklaunch for each desktop, sure it DOES adds some organization).
   
   The desktop itself could use more customization support , images other than .bmp, transparent background (such that it keeps your original wallpaper in view).
   
   I do like the drag-and-drop, but that should be a standard feature of a program like this.
   
   As a GeoShell user, I can see this being useful if it allowed for more customization and had a smaller memory footprint (13mb? that's more than my shell, I don't need a desktop with vwm that bad, call me stingy)
   
   I imagine in future releases, however, this program will improve and become more useful.

   Review - Becky! Internet Mail

   2.0 Beta 31 (Oct 4, 2000)

   I've been using this client for many years now, it handles multiple email accounts in a much better and more intuitive way than Eudora and most other clients I have seen. It is similar to The Bat! but feels a lot more polished and professional. Really easy to learn/use, has an extensive filtering system, mailing list support etc, really great email client, I recommend it highly.
