OFF: And now a word from Mr. Tightly-Squweezed ButtCheeks III

[Craig Shipley]

Y'know, if I though it would do any good, I'd GIVE him my copy of Eudora Pro
(opened, but unused) so that he could have something that was written in the
1990's at least. But I think you have to have something a little more
advanced than a VT-52 with a 300 baud modem...  :-)

It is Steves' fault that this list is mired in the technology of the '80's!
Probably listens to HW on an 8-track tape deck, too!!

Last time I heard, Pine, IE4.0 and Netscape's Communicator (and a
downloadable version of Eudora) were all free, so it can't be the cost that
is keepin' you folks back. If it is the fact that you are in school and
using what they give you, well, I know that beggars can't be choosers, but
talk to your MIS department; what good is it to be using an e-mail system
from the '80's? Don't they want you to be competitive when you hit the
market?(assuming that you are in the computer field, and if you aren't, do
you really think that you are gonna use 'elm' out there in the real world?
Sorry to say, but UNIX is getting its' clock cleaned by NT; even my company
realizes that the bucks are to be made in the NT environment. Learn a mailer
that the runs on what is going to be the dominant O/S for the foreseeable
future. I don't like this, but it is reality... :-/ ).

None the less, I'll keep my MIME option off, so that the paradigm doesn't
get changed to "It's Ship's fault!!"

Come join us, you will be assimilated, whatever...

Bass Ale time, see ya all on Monday!!!
