And I do believe that one could as easily infer that the "silent majority" of TB! users prefer MicroEd, as one could infer the opposite. I have seen only a vocal minority against it, from time to time, myself, whether in threads on TBBETA or in threads on TBTECH.

I use Open Office sometimes, and sometimes I use Word 2000--and I don't mind switching between them, depending on my needs. Further, sometimes I use Notepad and sometimes I use SmartBat. :) And sometimes I use Marck D. Pearlstone's BrainStorm. However, so well does MicroEd meet my needs, that I have never considered using anything else for composing e-mail messages--ever since I got TB! and abandoned Eudora Pro 4.0 and Outlook Express, in October, 2002. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.0.31 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.31 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
