Hi Fabrizio,
it is nice to read that you are enjoying your Q60 :-) are you using the new ShoeString version of our Linux? Email looks quite simple now. As you can see from Alex below, this version runs well on a Q40. Any Q40 owners considering using this version should contact D&D. Any Q60 Linux users that fancy the new version should also contact us.
