Got a Macintosh? Got an Internet address on a Unix box someplace? Still reading and composing your e-mail in real (expensive) time, turning your smart Mac into a very dumb terminal and suffering the savage editing tools of Unix mail?
If so, you need Steve Dorner's Eudora, the truly great electronic mail software for Mac users with Internet accounts.
Eudora connects with the POP server which can be found on most Unix hosts, sucks down all the mail which has accumulated since you last jacked in and spits back everything you've generated. Whether you're connecting from Singapore or your home in the 'burbs, connect costs drop by orders of magnitude.
Better yet, you can use all that blank time you spend at 35,000 feet to read your mail and reply to it using Eudora's full-featured editor. (In fact, Eudora has more bells and whistles than a German marching band.)
Amazingly enough, Eudora is free. You can ftp the Mac version from ftp.qualcomm.com/mac/eudora. Also, the PC version can be found in /pceudora/windows. Qualcomm is also about to release a even more impressive commercial version at the almost free price of $50 ($25 for academics).
Eudora (Commercial version), US$50. Qualcomm: (800) 238 3672.
