We’ve Made A Few Changes…

Since the site re-design, we've had a few people request that the sidebars be split up to straddle the content.  Ryan spent some time tonight getting that all situated.  We're always open to suggestions as to how we can tweak the site to make it good for us and comfortable for you.  You'll also notice that there are collapsible side-bar panels.  It uses your browsers' cookies to memorize which ones you've collapsed so that when you return, it will be just like when you left!

Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 2.0 Beta 1

A big milestone, Thunderbird 2.0 Beta 1, has finally landed for anyone trying to find a great email client that won't cost them a penny.
