Sorry, missed the AirPort Question.

Yes, the new ones will work with your old gear.

I can't even.

You guys know that if you add much more memory, your equipment may achieve sentience.

That would be catastrophic, or y'know, better, as the case may be.

Thanks, ND. I knew you'd know :) Off to eBay!

I'm picturing my equipment rebelling against all the damn porn and staging an uprising.

Hmm.

So, yeah. Catastrophic.

(I don't want to know how much storage we have. Probably over a terabyte, but calculating it would require knowing how many computers we have up and running in the house.)

I'm thinking I should be worried about all the computers that I have exiled to the garage that are old and neglected. I think that's where the real uprising will begin.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm picturing mine deciding to the bogart all the porn for itself.

It will take getting married to bump me to a TB.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Because it came up elsewhere, and the website for the software is gone...

I've located the GifBuilder version that opens in OSX and put it out on my .mac site.

is there a way to set thunderbird so it automatically filters messages as they arrive?

Yep. It's under Tools > Message Filters.

I recall it being pretty easy to set up, though perhaps not as easy as Eudora.

(Oh, and ita, I'm finding that the built-in spam catcher on T-bird works as well as Spamnix was working for me with Eudora.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, that's pretty sweet.

Okay, all you multi-computer people -- how do you manage mail? What I've been doing is keeping one machine that's on all the time with Eudora checking mail, deleting spam, but leaving non-spam from my mail account on the POP server until I get to it -- so I can read it from anywhere, and it's a pretty clean mailbox -- at least for the main account. Some of the ancillary ones are deleted from the server automagically.

It does feel odd to use the web client to read my mail when I'm only in the other room, but I suppose I'm addicted and my digital shoes are way too tight.
