Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just realized I now have eight computers at home. I might be a geek.
A friend of mine asked me how many computers I have. I said I don't know, because it depends... do I count my vintage laptops? My vintage pocket computer? My vintage laptops that are dead? Newer computers that are dead? Computers that are in various states of disassembly? And re: computers in various states of disassembly - how do I count those? By how many computers I could make if I put all the parts together?

Coding and Sleeping
I hadn't considered computers in disuse. Gotta add one more then, well three more if the Apple IIc and Atari 400 count.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I like Thunderbird too, especially the way mutliple E-mail accounts are handled in it.
The one negative I have against Thunderbird is that occasionally it has trouble downloading messages with bad headers (mostly spam, but not always) from certain servers (i.e., my own host's server). The bad message then just sits on the server and allows things to back up in the mailbox. I have to go into the web interface a couple of times a day to clear things out. It's a known issue, and the folks at Mozilla blame the server software, but then neither Outlook or Poco have the issue. Very annoying.

Your tag here.
Last time I checked, Thunderbird couldn't do that.
I typically use IMAP accounts, but for POP3, there is a setting to "Leave messages on server".

The question wasn't leave vs. delete messages (which every POP client I know of can do), but delete some messages while leaving others.

Yup. Thunderbird is all or nothing on that score.

Thanks amych (and DX). That was in fact my question.

I'm at I think 10 or 11 fuctional, and add another half a dozen that are of unknown function. This is after I got rid of at least half a dozen last December and I've sold at least 3 this year too.

Hey. New board.
I give up my geek cred. You guys win.
Of course, at the moment I've only got 1 computer, an xbox, and a treo. Not an all-time geek high for me, by any stretch.
