What I said/meant was that there very likely is a market for 2 bats, a
very chopped down easy version and the one we want ourselves.
Most users donot want all those bells and whistles we want, they just
want to open a new msg and send it and when it comes in, see what it
says. I see lots of email folders in systems and there is an enormous
number of people whose email usage is very simple and basic and who
use outlook / outlook express. Which for them is also to
complicated/big/bulky.

Under windows98 often a bug in windows and in at least one case I saw
the network card being the reason.
Any way, I once after a year not using a certain system needing 3 keys
to be pressed to start up had totally forgotten WHICh keys...
Felt really silly(g)

I am not saying remove all that stuff, I say there likely is a market
for 2 versions
