Well, nor I. And you can tell that I wanted to share my feelings, too.
It's one of the benefits of our mailing list community that we can do
that.

Yes. I feel the same way.

Well, I suppose I could go back to Eudora, or even Outlook Express. I
used to manage okay with them, although I didn't feel safe from the
hackers and the malware.

But with MailWasher Pro available, plus being behind a router on
broadband, I could manage POP3 without TB! and feel fairly
comfortable.

That's good.

This one was nice. Some beautiful clouds. But there was enough
lightning in it that I didn't want to risk luring a strike in onto the
computer.

My APC battery back-up with its Power Chute program takes care of
power failure and power surges, in adjunct with my up-to-date surge
protector.

But where lightning's concerned, I think, "Better safe than sorry."
