   I reckon that this must be the longest thread I have ever started!   
      
   Starting from 15th June 2003, it's been running for nearly 16 months now.   
   When I first posted I had just ditched BeOS and was thinking of moving to   
   MacOS. 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
