  Hmm. I remember upgrading from Win 98 to Win 2000, and I don't recall a 2039% improvement. Maybe I got a dodgy copy.
  
  Justin.

"Why isn't there a "Spread Thunderbird" website? mmm... Spread..."

Maybe Mozilla should look into offering some sort of all in one solution, like web browsing, email and a calendar function in an all together coordinated release? Maybe that would work, keep those apps most folks use all the time anyway in sync with each other and be one good quality app people could use for those common functions. I think it's a good idea,I wish they would try it, seems like a potentially great solution;)
