fair enough..it jsut seems morally wrong or something :) not like that
ever stopped technology. Me, I love unix, i hate windows, if i have to use
windows, i use windows, i just can't bring myself to go and bring up a
bash prompt in it..it's just not right!! haha, but that's just me.
opinions are like assholes.
btw, I can't stand outlook, maybe I'm just set in my ways, I'd rather
telnet to my unix box and open up pine. I even tried using the PC-Pine
port for windows, could NOT get used to it.
