Hi
Maybe I misunderstood but are you guys talking about a MAIL_CLIENT here ?
I mean this is insane.Good_old Netscape Gold 3 was runing just fine on my HP Vectra
-Pentium 75 with 32 MB of RAM under
Win 3.11 and Win95.A bit slow but Eudora rocked on that machine.
Now we have here a mail client that wants a 400 MHZ processor and 128 MB of RAM and
uses a real
database .
Hmm....I would stay away from that at any cost.I mean if you put it this way then with
these requirements I would rather
use Eudora on W2K and be done with it.My work computer is a PII-450 with 128 MB of RAM
running
W2K and I reboot the damn thing only in hollidays.
My point-you will never convince somebody to move to Linux if you tell them that they
need those kind of systems to run
just a freaking email client.
This wasn't a flame it was just an observation.Sit back for a while and read the
thread again.I'm running right
now a K6/2-450 and really I don't think I have to upgrade for a least another 6 months.
C'mon there have to be out there an email client that doesn't suck and doesn't need an
"industrial " database
to be running(faster than using a regular mailbox!!!!) and a server-like
computer.,kmail & balsa come to mind,not to
mention Netscape mail which hadnt't crash on me for a looon time now. :-)
Happy new year
