I dunno. That heinous Italian Java PMMail-ripoff ran OK on my 166 mHz machine.
Cartainly *faster* than the PMMail I fell in love with on my 66 mHz 486 OS/2
machine. If that level of performace was good enough four years ago, it should
be now that 400 mHz Pentium IIs cost less than what 66 mHz 486s cost 4 years
ago.

I just don't see it. Forgive my impudence, as I really shouldn't presume to tell
you what you should do. But I'm in the process of abandoning PMMail because it
doesn't exist on my chosen platform. I want fewer ties to Windows, not more. I'd
gladly pay for a Java version that doesn't run as fast as a native version.

But that's just me.
