Version: CyberBuddy 2.10.16
"A Computer Secretary with Tons of Useful Features"
Pros: Cyberbuddy is an extremely useful program that does all of the following: Checks for and reads new email; reads reminders, such as for appointments, at the set time; reads new changes to websites; reads updates to RSS news feeds; reads updates to stock reports, including to given specific stocks; reads updates to weather reports; announces current internet speed as often as every 10 minutes; reads text at entered URLS, as well as copied and pasted text; allows instant messaging; allows chats; announces the time as often as every quarter hour; tells jokes, its own or jokes the user added to the file; reads feel good messages, its own or those the user added to the file; and reads the thought of the day, its own or those the user added to the file. Within these functions are many options as well.
Some of the above functions can help a user with dial-up to stay online.
The MS Agent characters can be enjoyable to see and hear; they can be a pleasant diversion, as well as being useful. One can use free downloadable MS Agent characters, or can obtain higher-quality characters from a site that sells them. One can change the character's voice, the pitch of the voice, its speed, and its volume, and even the language.
Contrary to some reviews, Cyberbuddy honestly does not contain any spyware of any kind. I have used Cyberbuddy for a year now, and can guarantee that it contains absolutely no spyware.
