Oxp has a bit of a learning curve, especially in the editor if you want to  
copy chunks of text and move things around.  The menu structure also takes  
a little getting used to for finding things.

The program includes a "user guide" (not a manual) in the /docs directory.  
 The guide is designed to just get you through the steps up to your first  
poll.  But there is extra help in the POINTS echo.

The terminal look gives the feeling of visiting a BBS.  That's not totally  
a bad thing.   But I am not sure if I will stick with oxp though.  I have  
been spoiled with the newsreader solution in Thunderbird.

Currently a new "circumstance" has just popped up.  No hydro power since  
2:30pm.  It is now 6:30pm.  Laptop reports roughly 3.5 hrs battery left.   
Dinner is cold. House is getting cooler.  Currently 61F.  High winds  
outside.
