Hmmmm .... thanks for the suggestion, but that's not really an answer. I much prefer apps that are usable as received in binary format. FWIW, I don't care for things going on automagically in the background. Also, being on a bandwith-restricted connection, I like to avoid adding to that burden. Presumably anyone with a wireless or (gasp!) telco connection would agree. _______________________________________________ balsa-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/balsa-list
