Okay, why are you still using a 100 year old device for traveling around
town or the country-side? Or if you a bi-cycling, a nearly 200 year old

Just because other are doing it, doesn't mean it's better. Or are you

I use an IMAP server both locally and from my colo'd server, I could
only use my local one after popping it all local from my colo'd machine.
