zapdos (thunderbird), i choose you!

I had to do it. If the bird in this picture looks familiar, then like me, you too once tried to catch ‘em all. But that discussion is for another post. What I want to write about is Mozilla’s email client, Thunderbird. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if Mozilla’s products become more widespread [...]

got firefox?

Hands down my favourite browser. Sure Opera promises a faster experience, but faster doesn’t always mean better.
