Ashley,
I use the web gmail interface, and use the basic html feature, but I 
don't seem to be able to attach files. Maybe I don't happen to know how 
to do that.
Joshua, I have Internet Explorer
Besides my new Windows 7 Toshiba laptop, I have my old XP Desktop with 
Outlook Express. It has fan problems, but only the upper fan which is 
not bad and can function without trouble, but, as you know, if the 
computer goes so will Outlook Express. For now I can use it.
On my laptop, I decided to have Microsoft Office 7.
James, my technician said that he pays to receive a magazine which tells 
him what the trends will be in the next two years or so. There is no 
changing his mind about either Outlook or Mazilla Thunderbird. I have 
Mazilla Thunderbird because I was curious.
I am also learning to use the iPhone. When I was at the NFB National 
convention, my cousin who lives in Florida gave me her iPhone 4, she has 
an iPhone 5, but, her iPhone is perfect for learning.
My iPhone is not connected to AT&T, but with WI-FI I can use it and get 
on the Internet etc. without paying for data. I guess you could say I am 
treating the iPhone like an iPad.
At the moment, I don't know if I will become proficient in typing on the 
iPhone, or whether I will have to get a keyboard. I am still learning 
and can't decide. It is too soon for me.
