Believe it or not, newer is not always better.  I use a text only program
to handle email. It's the same program I use to write and compile programs,
papers, letters, read Unix map pages, list file directories, and just about
anything else I do with text.  It is far more flexible and functional than
anything through a browser and runs many times faster over the phone line.

Perhaps the better answer for this list is, why not go out and buy an up to
date van, something that goes fast, gets great gas mileage, does't sway in
the wind, is quiet, and has great air conditioning and sound system?  Then
we wouldn't even need this list.

But, I think I'd read this list even if I didn't own my fabulous '87 Westy
