I've had it for a year or two, and have found it invaluable in the last few days since these email viruses got loose last week. I've set filters to automatically mark for deletion anything with "Microsoft", "update", "security" etc. in the From or Subject lines. So far, I haven't noticed any slow down on the net except that in the evenings, my local dial-up connection is frequently "busy" so have to use a 2nd. or 3rd. number. What has amazed me is the sheer volume that can apparently sit in my mail-box without filling it. e.g. 300 emails at about 150kB each - I thought the limit was 15MB.
