Re: Eudora replacement
Contrary to popular belief - not everyone has or even wants facebook. I concurr, but FB is a good tools to get figures. In this case we are trying to see if the number of potential users is worth the effort of improving MailForge or building a new app. By the way, regarding FB, there are many ways of using it: you don't need to upload the photos of your family or tell everybody what's going on in your life, you can even use a pen name.

Not really sure FB users are your target audience. As for FB specifics, you do have to sign up for an account (I hate signing up for too many things, though a specific forum doesn't bother me too much - but I won't sign up for a social media account) and they discourage the use of pens names although many use them. If you are from MF, why not post a poll on their own forum? Not that I ever had any luck there - whoever approves memberships was asleep the week I signed up so I never got the help I was looking for and ended up tossing that idea in the trash. Personally FB would be the last place I'd go to to look for info on continuing a product.

Not that I ever had any luck there - whoever approves memberships was asleep the week I signed up so I never got the help I was looking for and ended up tossing that idea in the trash. I am not from MF, I am just a poweruser. Actually MF guys seem to be... only one guy. There is already a forum, but since it is no longer linked in the support page we are trying to keep in touch each other and I thoug that FB could be an easy place to share our thoughts. Moreover I racall the we want Mac Pro or similar fan page that collected thousands of likes. So if We want Eudora only collects few dozens we all have to concur that the development of such kind of software is dead. The majority of Mac users, nowadays, use FB, want an easy integration with the social forums, want to easisly share photos, so probably there's no point making a true Eudora replacement for such small numbers (i.e. us). This is my feeling, all in all Lion and probably even worse Mountain Lion, are quite weird for us loyal Mac users. I have installed Lion on the MacPro and the MacBook because I really use intensively the calendar and I like the way it syncs flawlessly with the iPhone and the iPad. Before switching to iOS devices I have tried androids and even the Palm Pre3, which is indeed a beauty with true multitasking, but the mobile.me/iCloud thing is far superior: no need to switch back and forth with google. By the way I still have a bootable HD with Snow Leopard to make the transition smoother, but right now I am quite disoriented as the calendar on SL no longer syncs with iCloud so sooner or later I will have to switch completely to Lion/ML. Well, I will always keep using my vintage PowerPC and even the 68xxx things, mainly for writing without distractions, but the die is cast (alea iacta est) and the future for us loyal Mac user iscnot that bright.
