I'm with you on Simplemail, although I've always prefered NetHopper
(3.2) over NewtsCape for webbrowsing, having said that, with an eMate
you should have enough space to install both. If you have trouble
locating V3.2 of Nethopper (I seem to remember my eMate only came with
3.0) then email me and I'll see what I can do. Also you might consider
the following apps... Ink Spot for Newsreading, PT100 for Telnet access,
NewtFTP for FTP-ing and I think somebody released a client for messaging
the other day (ICQ, Instant messanger etc, I think it's called NewtJab).
Once I get around to sticking all these on my MP2000 I'll have a
perfectly acceptable Internet tool (groovy!) and Hemlock is a nice
program to have on there too (it searches a selectable group of search
engines and gives you a nicely organised list of the results (it uses
Mac Sherlock plugins too).
Anyway, there's my 2pence thrown in :-)
Yours Sincerly,
Ryan
