   Review - PowWow

   4.0 (Feb 15, 2000)

   tribal voice messed up with this Upgrade. I haven't seen the other brandings such as IMHERE, but this powwow update should never have been released to the public. Frankly - It's horrible. The font size of the buddy list is too large and can't be adjusted. The buttons on top are huge, and rarely used and can't be taken away. The text-voice tool tips "Feature" is stupid. The right click menu has that Neo-Planet feel that seperates one command from the other and makes them harder to select. As well as a few crashes and a lot of operational difficulties with answering machine.
   And face it... implementing AIM and MSN IM's ? Yeah right!
   The two plus sides - it seemed to allow me to change my email address on the fly, registering me for a new name and maintaining my buddy list... and finally the IM's "record" what you say, and have the option for copying it to the clipboard.
   What should Tribal do to "fix it" ? go back to 3.7, and just implement the new IM's as well as an option to save Personal Communicator chats. Everything else is just messing up an already nice and small, but effective program.
   ** NOTE ** Since Powwow uses the registry, you can copy the old version to a new directory before upgrading it to version 4, and run 3.7 and 4 on the same machine... using the same buddy list. I prefer to run 3.7 myself.
