Dementiated memory prevents correct dates. Roughly: by late 80s was
using a now-extinct browser &c on the Archimedes. Pluto arrived and
helped greatly. Switch to 1st Iyonix was ok. On updated Iyonix email
failed, Castle inaccessible by phone or snailmail. Phoned Argonet,
and their solution was something unknown to me -- webmail, which they
explained in detail.

Am now used to webmail and shall stick to it. The intelligent notes
from VMH, Druck, SW, PY & CN indicate knowledge & skill beyond this
declining brain -- especially where RTFM is needed. (Those who know
enough to write manuals seldom know what the dontknows need to know.)
So it's webmail here, but long may Jonathan's and Martin's work
flourish. (What did become of Jonathan?)
