The *age*of the technology is not the problem.

After all people will be travelling to DevCon2005 on planes [100 year old 
technology] and trains [200 years] to hear lectures [at least 2500 years] using 
written [5000+ years] and spoken [at least 40 000 years] language.

"Not really working very well" is a better reason for something being 
troublesome and worth avoiding, regardless of the age of the technology.

After all, while I type [about 200 years] on my computer [50 or more], Altme 
REBOL3 [less than a year] and Developer/IOS [only a couple of years] both seem 
to be dead.

One of the promised strengths of REBOL is that it can be the glue or 
messaging language to bind and integrate a range of technologies.  Many intros, 
including those of Carl's, use the one-line send email example as a strength.

So if REBOl *can't* work with email very well, that's pretty big news.
