I think I will be moving to Chrome NOT..  here we have a billion dollar
company who owes a huge amount of its profit and success to the open
source community, and what do they do.. Chrome for windows.. MAC next
then Linux..  I don't think I will be going there..  Here was a golden
opportunity to pay back and the open source community gets shit on..   I
actually used yahoo to search today for the first time in about 5
years.    This move by google just made me sick..

As for email.. mutt is your friend..   I can't imagine what kmail can do
that thunderbird can't.. Fred
