Well, Phil, at least you're halfway there... both Thunderbird and
Firefox come in native Linux versions.
Actually, three quarters - somewhere around here I have a Linux
WordPerfect disk set that I got years ago when I was playing with
RedHat. Is ubuntu that much better?
Fortunately, I built my main computer with slide-out hard disk trays, so
it's a no-brainer to put a new set in and try different OS-es. I may do
that one of these days when I can discover a 40-hour day....these
32-hour days are just not long enough! <g>
