Re: OT: what good web email clients do you recommend?

Live CD's use very generic settings to be more compatible. But if it works you generally can get it to work after install. On May 19, 2013 12:33 PM, "Michael Havens" wrote: > I don't know about the live cd thing. I once had a live cd not work after > the install. > :-)~MIKE~(-: > > > On Sun, May
