Better if you don't delete the quote marks that help distinguish which

Eh? Isn't that how the Juno version I'm doing works? I did my mail run
the same way five minutes ago with v4.11 as with v5 yesterday and with
v1.49 last year. There are design differences, but that isn't one of
them.

So, add those items. Solitaire is available when you install either Win
95 or 98. Whatever you forgot to include, use Add/Remove Programs to put
it in.

What does the first part of this sentence have to do with the second? I
don't use my WinMe computer every day, but nothing is delayed since I
only make a Juno mail run if I'm going to look at what arrives. Whatever
machine I'm at, that's where I run Juno to see the JA list or other lists
or private and family mail. Why would anything arrive on your rarely
used computer on the days you aren't using it?
JL> Finally ... I really don't understand why I would want more places to
check for email
For me, it's because I go different places to see different people. If
one of my computers is there (sometimes it's because I am visiting
someone whose computer was a gift from me) I can check my Juno mail with
whatever version is installed in it, without tying up their phone line
for many minutes. More places, more people, more merrier.

Yeah. Juno 4.11 is the slowest version I use, but it doesn't bother me.
Take it easy. After all, it's usually not snowing here in New York, so I
usually walk a couple miles or bicycle a dozen or two to visit, so what's
the big hurry? Many of us islanders have finally it figured out:
Urgency is optional. Mainlanders may learn one of these days that they
are allowed to sit back and relax a fraction of a minute while Juno on a
slow computer grinds away unpacking a few dozen messages.
