Our Review: OK, it's gotten to the point where people will listen to a talking monkey for advice on how to use the internet. Admittedly, it's Bonzi the purple gorilla who surfs the internet on a banana but come on, he's a monkey....Actually, Bonzi is quite helpful. He uses Microsoft Agent technology and so will speak and 'learn' with you. He has a calendar and download manager and will read web pages and e-mail out to you. He can also compose e-mail messages and add his own special animations to them which will amuse many people, even if it is only in an 'oh dear, how pathetic' kinda way. Bonzi is mainly aimed at kids but has some of the functionality that may make him suitable for more advanced users. Worth a look (although it does require an internet download to install fully so those with slow modems may want to think twice).
