[gui-talk] tearing my hair out

[Wayne Merritt]

A coworker has told me of a site called Salona that works with
Internet Explorer. I don't know the exact address, but am sure that
you could do a Google search for it. Also, for what it's worth, have
you considered running all of your personal mail through a web based
email service, like Gmail or Yahoo? This would give you access
anywhere and keep you from being tied to the inaccessible provider's
site.
