You would rather put your mission-critical data on a windoze box (which is generally accepted by the industry as less reliable than a *nix box)? Maybe eudora is a better, in some ways, mua than most of the *nix mua's, but that isn't the OS. I use FreeBSD everyday on my workstation and on several other machines at home, and they have never crashed or had any of the problems the windoze machines seem to be prone to. You make an intersting statement. -- Chip On Fri, 13 Apr 2001 00:07:58 -0600 Brett Glass surely must have wrote something like: > At 11:26 PM 4/12/2001, Chip Wiegand wrote: > > >I recently noticed, while reading through these lists, that a large > >number of messages posted are coming from windoze computers.
