For all you new to computer  people and all you old to computer people
I am hear to tell you Thunderbird is a dream come true.

It is old Netscape 4.7 debugged and enhanced. It took
somebody six or eight years to do it.

I suspect NS 4.7 was originally written largely in assemble language or
plain old C. NS 4.7. Running  on my old Linux 7.3 and old 400 MHz 486
box it was faster than any other email program on the market including
email programs I ran on my new faster box.

I am now running basically the same thing in the guise of Thunderbird
on my new 2.4 gigahertz 2 gig ram computer it is near instantaneous.
I highly recommend it to everybody.

Now all I got to do is figure out how to AUTOMATICALLY add
a signature file. Something that was easy in old NS 4.7.
