There's a world of interesting thoughts in that one line... would
you care to elaborate on the new idea of how the Qube does what
it does? I really do want to know.

Fortunately even the one at my house has 80MB... :)

Well said (as someone said before) and good point. However, there
are some things that Cobalt could do to make our lives a lot nicer
and easier...

...and a concerted effort to take some of those advancements and move
them back to the Qube2 is exactly what I would like, and all we can
ask for.

Suggestion: if you guys can't (for licensing, whatever reasons) create
a PKG out of emumail or IMP for the Qube2, how about simply posting
detailed instructions on how to create such a package? That, and a
page or two of simple instructions on its administration, would be a
boon. It would certainly save me all the trial-and-error grief I
normally go through...
