+1000 My 8 year old Dell laptop (which I use at home) has to run Ubuntu 8.04.4. With that it is usable, but with anything newer it is not. Sometimes Ubuntu 8.04 also frustrates me because a simple task is slow. Then I switch to JWM (Joe's Window Manager) with a different file manager, and things run lightning fast again! > I think "modern" Linux desktops suck. +1 again. > attached Thunderbird screen shot.

What is the bloody point of that HUGE bar, and like you said, it duplicates information that is already visible. There is a add-on that allows you to minimize that bar, but then it hides some other functionality. It shouldn't be that big in the first place. I was a long time Thunderbird user, but got so frustrated lately that I thought I should write my own email client (which I still want to do), but it the mean time I switched to the memory hog Evolution. At least their I don't have that huge middle bar, and Evolution can at least read newsgroups too [so no need for a separate NNTP client]. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Computing - Latest Buzzword or a Glimpse of the Future?
