Just as defying the law of gravity through building aircraft requires
careful design and a lot of effort, so too does defying laws of
economics. It seems to be a deeply ingrained aspect of humanity to
forever strive to improve things, so unquestioning acceptance of a
free market system seems to me to be unnatural. ;; Charles Bryant

MS are apparently moving to a subscription strategy... the current IE6 is

OS (anyone remember 98lite ?) so I guess they are trying to emulate the
functions of konqueror on kde linux, though using a proprietary version of
the tcp stack, and lots of other proprietary code... it isn't looking

good.

outlook / express is going the same way, you subscribe for the "proper"
version and only cheapskates on virgin installs use the basic version...
FIIN what advantages the pukka version is supposed to have tho...

as you say, no excuse for windows users not to use something like pegasus

A better group to subscribe to if you want sailing discussion is
uk.rec.sailing. The people over there at least act like grown-ups.

What the **** does a uk.* froup have to do with the *American*
Sailing Association?

Nothing, but do edycate us!


Outgoing mail certified virus-free,scanned by Norton AV2002.

ha ha... certified virus free... what a joke that is... how many times a
day do you have to update your anti-virus sigs???


Can we sue Norton for millions if we receive a virus in a "certified"
message?


it would be nice, but I'm certain their lawyers will have come up with a
cast iron disclaimer...


Which makes the "certified virus-free" assertion meaningless, unless
they're merely asserting that *one* virus (e.g. Snowhite) will never
appear.

Microsoft.. the company that made email dangerous...


Are there still people out there using OE?


yes... Mr Pogson is... and so are many, many others.


Well make them stop!

They must be insane.


nah... just misled into using the default clients... don't realise there
are much better clients out there. And they wouldn't even have to change
OS either.


I used OE for nearly a year before I realised how much better every
other newsreader was. Even that Polish one that starts with an N is
better.
