Ok Thor. You are right! In Pegasus mail When I hit the reply button with
your message, I get a window which gives me the following options as to
whom to reply to Thor Legvold ‘From field’
Rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ‘Reply-to’ field
None ‘CC’ fieldd
Rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ‘To’ field
Rollei_list-boune@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ‘Sender’ field
and a couple of other options.
I use Pegasus when I can because I can deal with it in a text only way
and believe that this protects me from at least some viruses.

Exactly.
I suppose to be honest my reply was more to the tone of the post which
was "Mac is best" and its not worth finding out about anything else. I
personally find the mac OS's tend to couple to the programs a little to
tightly, and coset the user insulating them from what is actually going
on with their hardware.  It doesn't improve as you get deeper either, by
which I mean this kind of codology:
"If Mac OS 9 is present but not recognized, it is likely that the Mac OS
9 System
Folder needs to be blessed"  etc.   
It just seems to be an operating system which makes it uniquely
difficult for users who start on it to adjust to other systems.

Well I wouldn't want to totally discount Xerox Parc's contribution or
smalltalk for that matter, and we tend to forget that there were a lot
of graphic based OS's around back then such as TOS for the ATARI and the
programmers work bench for the amiga etc.

Here I envy you, I've always wanted a next cube, but have settled for
the Mac cube instead. Its running OS X on twin 1.5GHz G4's with a new
HD, 1Gig ram, its not a bad little machine..
As for the internet being invented at CERN... I'd prefer to use the word
evolved given the prior existence of bitnet, arnet, DECnet...
