More ruminations, rambles, rants and raves from the downhill side of the mountain.
And I also recommend my gentle employer to you as well. The Barnes & Noble Affiliate Network, which seemed to have stopped working, is back in operation, so the links and banners are working again.
Now, go buy some books.

And finally, here are a few books I might recommend for your edification and amazement.
What's the Matter with Kansas?
My first experience with connecting to cyberspace was through Compuserve in 1990. I kept my Compuserve membership and became a member of Delphi in1992. Neither Delphi or Compuserve were part of the World Wide Web in those days. I could get email via my Compuserve account and I could participate in forums via Delphi. However, these were both straight text environments: never needed a browser. However, by the end of 1993, it was becoming painfully obvious that the WWW environment was the way to go, so I jumped ship and become a subscriber with Netcom, and my first browser was good old Netscape. I switched my email address away from Compuserve (remember addresses like: CIS 76467, 3403?) over to Netcom. But doing that meant that I had to come up with an email client which could access a POP account. Ah, and there was Netscape with its embedded email client. IE didn't have that...oh no. Had to mess around with some other program which, in those early days of the browser wars, was more than a little buggy.
I stayed with Netscape for years...but, then it fell on hard times and became bloated and buggy itself. So, I switched browsers to Opera (as my browser of choice although I keep copies of both Netscape and IE on my computers), but that meant I had to switch email clients also. So, in the past few years I have gone through a number of email clients. I have used Outlook and Outlook Express. Opera, in its recent iterations, has included an email client and I have used that. I have even sporadically gone back to Netscape. In the main, though, I've been using Eudora as my primary email client for the last couple of years. Well, I've just installed the newest Netscape version, and I find the email client is back to what I have been missing all these years. Netscape itself isn't quite what it used to be (most likely because it is now the offspring of a corporate giant rather than a corporate giant killer) but the email client is now comparable to Eudora...at least it is in my opinion.So, beginning today, I'm going to use it as my primary email client for awhile. If it proves satisfactory over the next few months, I'll make the change permanent. One of its first tests will be to see how it handles the filters I have been installing. If they work as advertised (and as designed) I could relegate Opera and Eudora to backups and make Netscape once again the primay browser/email client in my little world. And I will have gone full circle. If you are an IE or other, but non-Netscape, browser user, perhaps you'd like to give Netscape a try. Download the newest version of Netscape by clicking here. I think you'll agree that it is a nice piece of software...and the price is right : free.
