[Elecraft] OT: ISP problems

[Julian, G4ILO]

I don't know why anyone bothers with ISP mailboxes and local PC mail clients
any more. I moved all my work and personal email addresses to Gmail accounts
which I access via the web and it is just fantastic. I can read my mail from
any computer, anywhere in the world, as well as my work PC, shack PC and Eee
PC. I see virtually no spam, because Google's spam filters are near enough
100% perfect. And I have had no known problems sending or receiving mail all
the time I have been using it.

I now use Google Docs for spreadsheeting and letter writing, we've moved the
office accounts to a web-based system (WinWeb) and I have converted several
of my websites to a content management system that I can edit online, again
from any computer, anywhere. So no need for MS Office (or even Open Office),
or FrontPage or Dreamweaver. I don't need a power hungry monster that can
run the latest version of Windows. Give me a thin client that can run
Firefox and I can do just about anything.

The only place I still need a real PC is in the shack, because for logging,
data modes and most other ham radio activities you still need real
applications and I can't see that changing.
