Maybe they upgraded from Fedora 2 to 6? Or selected "Install Everything"? <chuckles> I was fit-to-be-tied when Evolution couldn't connect and cussing like a sailor. Even the dog left the room as I turned the room blue. By the time I figured out it was gmail's fault, I was too exhausted to continue a new verbally abusive thread. I think I will still switch to Thunderbird though. Evolution has pee'd on my shoes once too often, while calling it rain. Pine was better than this. I miss those days when I could understand at least half of what was going on. FTP wuz FTP and telnet was more or less trusted. Ha! I sound like Garrison Keillor, where "all the women were strong, the men good looking and the kids above average." I pray they are all using Linix as well. If so, then Minnesota would be nirvana.
