True, but you could use the same argument to justify an IRC client, a download manager, almost anything. A chat is fundamentally different from email in that it's immediate, while email is a "deferred" model of communication. One reason I use email is that I have no use whatsoever for chat. Written conversation is s-l-o-w, almost always a waste of time, and is hard to schedule across time zones. In my opinion, a chat feature is bloat, since there's so much (free) chat software already available anyway. It certainly isn't something that will persuade me to pay for an upgrade again. - May I help you? - Hi, I'm looking for a mail client. - We have a great one here, with chat function and reminders. It can even create HTML messages! - Uh, I just want an email client, thanks. What about a web browser? - Try this one, sir, it has an email client, a news client and a chat module, and.. - <sigh> Best regards, .marek ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
