<DIV><SPAN class=056303313-12032003><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Sorry to hear
your University has gone over to the Dark Side. <grin> My
shop is strictly M$. The only things we have on our PC's that do not
come from M$ are some apps that make working with M$ Windows and Office
easier. When M$ finally gets around to adding those features to
Windows/Office, then those independent apps will go too.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=056303313-12032003><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Back in the dark
ages when IBM dominated the mainframe market, they invented the FUD factor to
intimidate managers into going all IBM. Now M$ uses the FUD factor on
managers to go all M$. Until managers become technically sophisticated,
somebody will always be able to get away with FUD and we techies will have to
suffer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I totally agree
with all the others who comment positively on Eudora.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Our Firm (An
Australian University) is moving in the opposite direction.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>We will be using
Exchange </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>from Eudora to

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>After using
Outlook for the last 2 months I cannot bag it enough. I am convinced it
is</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>the software
incarnation of the Prince of Darkness himself. It is tripe.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Eudora is vastly
superior in every way from an email point of view.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>One of my most
used and thus most missed features of Eudora was...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I could assign a
sound file </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>(Outlook calls
them rules. What a PITA they are in Outlook too)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Like the rest of
you I get about 80 to 120 emails a day. Everything was
filtered,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I mean everything,
and I had different sound files playing when certain rules cut
in.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I miss it so much.
All I can do in outlook is activate 1 single sound when any email arrives.
That's it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>It was a great
tool to make sure important/urgent emails got the appropriate
attention.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

not so HO is vastly superior.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
