[ Sorry for not sending this to the entire list before, Chip W. ] I think the man (Brett Glass) was making a joke. I think he was. :-/ Anyway, I've been using Eudora on Windows for years now, before I had started experimenting with FreeBSD. I know it well, and for the most part I like it. I'm not very tempted to move my e-mail client unless Eudora for FreeBSD emerges. ;-) And for tasks like e-mail, I find the Eudora interface on the Windows GUI easy to use. (Again, it's familiar to me.) Does my Windows stability match FreeBSD's on the same system? No, not close. But for reading e-mail, it's good enough. --Chip Morton At 09:50 AM 4/13/2001, you wrote: >So you believe windoze to be more reliable than BSD?
