os/2?

thunderbird-1.0-os2.zip 07-Dec-2004 10:30 12M

from the contributed builds directory for the new Thunderbird 1.0 release.

Thunderbird is great, I’m a huge fan. After all the years of Pine, Elm, & mutt - Thunderbird was the first client that was able to convince me to switch back to a GUI email client. I’m still a big mutt fan and user though (I use it when I ssh into grommit). But in terms of features, Thunderbird is awesome.

What impresses me more though is the diligence of whoever is building those OS/2 Thunderbird builds. They are consistently among the first ‘contrib’ builds tossed up whenever a new release of Thunderbird/Firefox is done. Who is this mysterious OS/2 builder? I can’t believe people still use OS/2…

Don’t get me wrong, I loved OS/2. I went from DOS+Windows to DOS+Desqview to OS/2, and never looked back. I loved OS/2… it was only after Warp went down in flames (ring the klaxon!) that I finally was forced to accept Windows had won the desktop…

sigh. OS/2… good times..good times
