      Yes, look at it that way - Apple is further ahead (so far as 
stability anyway) with OS X after >1 year of the product being available 
than it was with Mac OS Classic after 17. (20 if you count Lisa OS as 
well) X is absolutely more stable than Classic or Windows 9X, at least 
even with Windows 2K/XP, and the ease of use is unmatched anywhere. Only 
reason I don't run it myself is because I don't have the time right now 
to add more RAM to my iMac G3/500.

      I'm sure someone here *cough* could set you up with Claris Emailer, 
if you don't mind using an app that was abandoned 4 years ago. I prefer 
it to Eudora, I guess because of how clunky Eudora looks in comparison. 
Emailer is really nice, I've used it on both my machines since I moved to 
Macs in 1999.
