Thanks for reminding me about thunderbird. I have to reinstall it on my
"new" desktop at home (I've been limping along with web-based email for
months now). Just FYI, there was a small-ish company that used Thunderbird
instead of Outlook with an Exchange server, and I loved it there, too.
There are a plethora of other tools I use (not for work) - Sony Acid Pro,
Sound Forge, Adobe Premiere, Fontographer, Electric Quilt 6.
And of course Firefox 3..
