I use Mutt, Tin, Windows XP Pro. SP3, analog speakers, analog bone conduction hearing aid (don't want digital with implants), Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 calculator watch, don't own a mobile phone, VCR to connect my desktop Windows PC to my 19.5" Sharp CRT TV from January 1996, PS/2 clicky keyboards and optical mice, etc. Why?
