Pointcast was one of the first ones I looked at last week. I had downloaded it many moons ago and didn't think it was anything to write home about.. But to my surprise, I found that Pointcast is no more. Something called InfoGate has replaced it. I downloaded InfoGate and it's got a crappy interface that you can't really customize at all beyond changing the location of things. I don't care about a screen saver, all I want is a nice compact news ticker that I can throw on my 2nd monitor.
