Don't think so. Do you have any concept of the amount of time and work
Victor has put into Newtontalk and UNNA? Believe me, he's done a fabulous
job and prevailed where others gave up.

Seems to me it does. Your queries about ATA cards, speed up, syncing and
LunaSuite were all answered. Only one I could have commented on (LunaSuite)
was already answered by the time I saw your post ... I don't use ATA cards,
have an accelerated Newt or sync, so didn't feel I could offer an answer on
those issues. Sometimes those who answer will tell new users to read the
manual or FAQ ... it's not meant to be mean ... there are a lot of questions
answered in both documents.

This list isn't always Newton-centric. In many ways it's more like a
community where everyone happens to be a Newton user.

I took a quick look back though the questions you asked. All were
answered save one ... your question about a server error when using
SimpleMail. I use SimpleMail and had I ever seen this error I would have
been happy to answer as I'm sure many others would have been. Sometimes a
unique problem does occur. Apparently it has been solved ... have you posted
the solution so that it can (if necessary) be added to the FAQ to help other
who might come across it?
