I don't know why anyone bothers with ISP mailboxes and local PC mail clients any more. I moved all my work and personal email addresses to Gmail accounts which I access via the web and it is just fantastic. I can read my mail from any computer, anywhere in the world, as well as my work PC, shack PC and Eee PC. I see virtually no spam, because Google's spam filters are near enough 100% perfect. And I have had no known problems sending or receiving mail all the time I have been using it.
I now use Google Docs for spreadsheeting and letter writing, we've moved the office accounts to a web-based system (WinWeb) and I have converted several of my websites to a content management system that I can edit online, again from any computer, anywhere. So no need for MS Office (or even Open Office), or FrontPage or Dreamweaver. I don't need a power hungry monster that can run the latest version of Windows. Give me a thin client that can run Firefox and I can do just about anything. The only place I still need a real PC is in the shack, because for logging, data modes and most other ham radio activities you still need real applications and I can't see that changing. ----- Julian, G4ILO http://www.g4ilo.com/ G4ILO's Shack http://www.ham-directory.com/ Ham Directory -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/truble-contacting-elecraft-tp469919p472872.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
