I have, in the past, posted about what a great tool Cyberdog is,
set up a mailing-list of Cyberdog users, and gone to some effort
to promote the use of Cyberdog.

I'm sorry to say that I (even I !) began to look for other ways
to do web and email work after Apple began to halt development
of OpenDoc.  While my Cyberdog setup still worked fine, it was
the only reason for needing OpenDoc loaded on my Mac, and OpenDoc
was using up so much memory that it seemed silly to keep using it.

After a month of trying out various email and web programs I've
now reverted to Eudora Lite, and I seem to be reasonably happy
with Netscape 4.05 which, though memory-hungry, doesn't seem quite
as hungry as OpenDoc and Cyberdog combined.  The 32Meg in my Mac
is adequate to keep Eudora, Netscape and NewsHopper all open at
the same time.

So, my respect to those of you who are still doing the dog, but
I am no longer one of you.  Paint me blue and call me Horace.

Simon.
