Okay Chris. I think you are kewl. Where do I send some CPU chip to you? I have some of the chips that I keep looking at them, and they look cool, but I don't know and have no use of them. They are Pentium chips, 486, 68x40, EPROM, Apple boot ROM, PC BIOS, G3 raw cpu, PPC cpu, and many others that I don't know what they are for but if I find them, they are yours. So, if you want to give me your mailing/shipping address, I can pack up a box and ship all those to you that I know I won't do anything with them besides just looking at them. I believe all of them work, except I don't need them. >>Wait.... You forgot Entourage..... Microsoft Entourage. > >I don't have a need to support it right now, so I don't really know it.

First, you open it up, you seen alias for IE and OE, then the typical "Internet Application" folder. You open up the "Internet Application" folder, you will see a small window opens up, and IE and OE are there. Then if you are an experiences user like everyone here on the forum, you will notice that the scroll bar on the right indicated there are more files/items down below where the opened window won't show, so you scroll down, and there, you see Claris eMailer (lite), Netscape. It's Microsoft's way of muscle their "Influence" that you are not aware of. Microsoft IS involved in the killing of the eMailer. I believe Steve and MS (who else, Gill Bates) shook hand on this one. Oh well, now you get to work on the "i-KrisMailer" program that we all will be using in the future now, you hear? Talk to you later.
