Last night, thanks to the Computer Active ultimate guide to free computing, I downloaded Thunderbird - and I'm glad I did. For years I've happily used Gmail but something's happened recently which makes it impossible for me to send an email with an attachment. I suspect it's something to do with the underlying Google (the older version) or with the way my set up now reacts to Google Chrome. When I move over to the little Asus EeePC, which uses Firefox with Linux, I can send a gmail with an attachment - so long as the material I want to attach is already on that machine. Problems begin when I try to transfer stuff using a memory stick. I used to be able to do this without any bother. Why can't I do it now? (We used to have an acronym RTFM. I know. I'm one of those people who reads the manual before even switching on the power. Trouble is :: the manual doesn't cover the process I want to use. Hey ho! The wind and the rain!) There's always the awful possibility that it's me that's the cause of the problems. And I used to be such a dab hand with a Sinclair Spectrum. 48K and a color screen!! I'm tempted, very tempted, to download Firefox on this machine. (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo.) The thought of that combined with the Open Office I downloaded last week is almost too good to miss.
