I agree, I have a dumb cell so that I can be reached on job sites, I'm an architect.  My wife has a "smart phone" with a blue tooth ear piece.  I hate it, never know when she is on the phone.  Get dirty looks when I talk to her and she points to he ear.  We also kept a land line for similar reasons.  I was turned on to SM at 1.something years ago and really like it!!!

SeaMonkey developers, you are doing an amazing job. I think the interface is excellent, logical and *just works*, especially for desktop.
Please don't feel any need to ruin it in the same way that Firefox has been ruined with the dumbed-down Chrome wannabe interface!

If you feel the same, please show your support for SeaMonkey devs. :)

The devolpers were asked a while back if they had plans along these 
lines.  Short answer: No.

My understanding is that the logic behind Australis is to present the 
same interface for all devices, Phone, Tablet, PC.  That idea worked 
really well for Microsoft with Windows 8.
I strongly sense much sarcasm in the last sentence above.

Seamonkey is never going to run on a Tablet or Phone so the developers 
have no need to waste resources changing things.
Good!  I am a retired software engineer, having spent 30+ years of my
career as a software tester.  I have had a series of PCs for 18 years.
I do not own a smart phone (or "dumb phone"), tablet, laptop, or any
similar device and do not plan to own any such.  As someone who tested
software for usability, I really have problems with Windows (especially
Windows 7); but some of my favorite non-Microsoft applications do not
run on a Mac or under Linux.

By the way, my wife has a cell phone.  It is a "dumb phone" that is
rarely turned on.

We still use land-line, wired phones because Southern California Edison
has too many unplanned outages that crash VoIP systems and leave local
cell towers without any power.  During a power outage, our land-line
phone -- self-powered by AT&T -- allows me to call Edison to report the
lack of electricity.
