Sorry, but Netscape 7.1 ate everything in my email (don't think they feed it at AOL). If you can contact me again,Geoff, we can discuss the casting set I have for the Jacobs (Helix) Gear Hobber. It is now available and its blueprint set.

Eudora is an email program only... and IMHO..one of the top 3 for best.

At least in the Windows world. In the unix, I like strn (Scoring, Threaded, News Reader).

And for unix, again, I prefer mutt, though there are several other excellent choices -- some of which (like pine) can be used for newsreading as well.
And they all are *free*. :-)
Enjoy, DoN.
You make several good points. After struggling with Microsoft for 15 some years (and DOS 2 and Windows 2) I am weary of Redmond's thin attempts to be all things to all men.
I have been playing with Slackware 9.0 - which has the KDE 3.X overlay and Open Office. Looks good, works fine. I am now waiting for a new motherboard/chip set to arrive so I can power up a machine specifically for Linux. In my dotage, I have come to the conclusion that Man does not need Microsoft to survive in the Information Age. Fortunately, I can do something about it for myself. I will probably use Netscape ported for Linux as a news reader/mail program and I will kiss the Microsoft based stuff good-bye.
BTW - there is an outfit in Malaysia that sells Linux OS CDs for pennies check out
