You're welcome! I feel very much the same, although I do have to live in 
the browser to a certain extent due to work. =(

But in terms of usenet, rss, email, and downloading news articles from bbc 
and other web sites, that has all moved into alpine for me and works 
beautifully.

For me alpine strikes the perfect balance between being easy to setup, 
while at the same time having enough features and integration 
possibilities to be very flexible and useful.

I also get a kick out of comparing cpu and memory usage with alpine 
compared with my trusty old thunderbird which I used for about 20 years or 
so.
