Without a doubt the easyiest is Dolphin.
There is currently one post on this board from Dan saying it's hard
to understand. I have also talked four people on this board thru the
changeover from Vector to Dolphin.
Don't get me wrong this is not a flame. I know that vector is more
capable than Dolphin, something I have always admitted, but the
question most people ask is the one above.
Basically "Whats a simple and easy to learn program "
