If you see it lying around the reading 'Getting away with it - the story of Loaded' by Tim Southwell is worth an afternoon (probably not worth buying unless it's cheap though) if only for the first few chapters about how they set up the magazine and the last few about how it started to go wrong, the middle chapters are basically just anecodotes about some of the interviews they did and aren't overly interesting.

I object to paying 3.99 gbp (for a single), or 12.99gbp (for an album track) to just get one song. However, if I hear another track from those artists, and like it, I will probably get the full album. Then exercise your right not to buy it - then don't steal it. You don't have a divine right to something just because it is a single song. Pay for it, or don't get it.

Isn't there a lot of difference between Outlook- big, bloaty, part of Office, designed for Exchange- and Outlook Express- biggish, bloatish, but doesn't talk so many non-standard protocols, and can even do IMAP over SSH? There definitely is a difference on the Mac, because you can't get Outlook, only something quite like it called Entourage, and OE doesn't talk to Exchange servers. As to the security holes, well, if you're conenecting to decent SMTP and IMAP/POP servers, rather than Exchange, and you don't go around randomly doubleclicking stuff, and switch off the autoexecute options, surely there's not that much difference between OE and Netscape? Hmm, that seems like a bit of work, really. Mind you, I'm still using Eudora 3 Light for the Mac, so I wouldn't trust my opinion. Maybe part of the problem Eudora has on Windows is, like Photoshop, it's sacrificed too much to the Windows interface guidelines, whereas it just looks (and works) right on Mac OS, where you can scatter windows about with much more abandon under an all-embracing menu bar.

Re: Long shot
Outlook express is evil. It actually appears to work correctly for IMAP, and is reasonably fast, but... 1. For some unknown reason it doesn't let you use mail filters on IMAP messages, thereby rendering it completely unsuited to my needs 2. And this is the really evil one. If you use plain text mode it ALWAYS uses your proportional font for displaying and composing mail. If you use HTML mode it will let you work in fixed width, but obviously then sends the message as multi-part mime HTML mail, which is unacceptable. So, I have: Netscape - works, can filter mail, poor interface, dreadfully slow PC-pine - works, can filter mail, dreadful interface, fast Eudora - annoying bugs, can filter mail, good interface, slow Express - works, can't filter mail, good interface, quite fast So, Eudora still ahead...
