Simple. I use which ever email client happens to be at hand at the time. At this current time I happened to be working in windows so I used Outlook Express. I see no urgent need to restart my computer to go in to Linux, work on my mail, and then restart back in to Windows to finish some .net projects I am working on. Contrary to current belief I use both, and it all depends on what I am doing and where I am at the time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenny Hitt" <kenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2004 8:49 AM Subject: Re: Starting with Linux > Hi.
