New to the A64

[Travis King]

On Thunderbird, it wasn't all the newsgroups that the threads acted
up, just some of them. I never have any problems with newsgroups on
Outhouse other than the top-posting, which by the way I just
downloaded that OE-QuoteFix. One other thing that I was annoyed with
Thunderbird, when people that received e-mails with attachments, the
paperclip wouldn't show up in the subject area, so people would get
to reading the e-mail, and they sometimes weren't observant and
didn't see the attachment. Oh, and when you reply to someone who
sent you an attachment, the attachment gets sent again instead of
Outhouse when you reply to somebody who sent you an attachment, it
won't send the attachment back. Other than those three problems with
Thunderbird, I liked it - especially the UI.

I am using Firefox, and I'll tell you, as of now, I'll never go back to
Internet Explorer unless I have to.

Back to the A64... I don't need a fancy heatsink or anything because this
computer won't be for me. It will be for a typical computer user who
doesn't understand how to build a computer or overclock, so it won't be a
huge issue I guess.

Perhaps if you spend all day switching the machine on and off you will
reduce their useful lifefime... but in normal use it makes little
difference.

I agree totally, but some argue the point. The way I see it, a 2000
hour light buld will burn continuously for about 100 days perhaps... but
generally it will last a whole year being turned on and off each day,
undergoing alot more temperature change than your CPU. That's been my
experience anyway.
