These days I rarely power-up the Windows PC and use MacOS for almost       everything. It took a while to get used to it but I now appreciate just how       good OS X is. It has many of the same strengths that BeOS had to offer albeit       at reduced speed in some cases. More importantly it's a pleasure to use.              That first posting was with Forté Agent under Windows Me - this is now via       Hogwasher under 10.3.5. It could just as easily be via Pan under X11 though       and that is one of the major differences.              Cheers,              Steve              --       The reply-to email address is a spam trap.       Email steve 'at' shodgson 'dot' org 'dot' uk              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
