Anyone remember Eudora or Netscape Messenger 9? Heh. I’ve been using Turd-Bird email since 2005, and it works fine.
I got Eudora with my second ISP signup. (First was Delphi, text only, then TIAC.) I liked Eudora so much that I got the paid version. Been using Thunderbird and its forks (e.g. Icedove) since then.
