Hi Spike,
I use an ole 386/sx20 machine with DOS 5.00.409c beta and WIN 3.1
to do mail with. I telnet to the corporate firewall, then to the
WELL in Calif and then to the world. I read mail with the shareware
utility LIST, and edit with WordPerfect 5.1.
I use my Thinkpad and Sparc 20 for better things...... ;)
I agree that Kathryn's posts are usually worth hitting the right
arrow key for..... I noticed she changed her format right away,
although she wasn't the only one in "long" format..... ;)
