Heh! Indeed. Although I'm yet to find a simple, light-weight up-to-date 
replacement for the email client I use, Calypso. (It's abondonware.) 
Everything is so damn bloated these days. Ok, I'm running a dual-core CPU @ 
3.6GHz with 4GB RAM and 1.6TB of HDDs but that doesn't mean that every 
programme has to suck more than it's share just because it's there right?
