Highly functional -- granted on being slow in comparison to Unix.

But it works in Windows... yeah, that hated word.  That means not having
to operate several operating systems when interacting w/the rest of the
world.  And it's not a web based browser.  I feel for the folks using IE
explorer or Netscape for the NGs.  Even more for AOLers.  Yikes!

Ahem... One of your fellow students set the cross-feature in the
original post.  That decision was respected and maintained here.  But,
now I feel obligated to check out the GT ng, as I do all Ga groups.  If
I'd known it was there I would have cross-posted my eulogy to J.D. Neff
to the group.  The finest educator I met at Ga. Tech during my lengthy
stay.  Fortunately, FAgent makes it easy to recall the article and
repost it in your group.

I've had occasion to tie groups together on broad issues.  Obviously
students at the college have seen the same necessity.  I don't disagree.
