I don't know the secret to firebird, but it sure seems to have cut down on 
the junk stuff - no popups or data miners since I installed it?:)

Eudora Pro works for me and I've had it for years so don't see changing 
that one.

Running W98Lite seems to have plugged a lot of holes for the virus stuff, 
but I know nothing is perfect against those guys.  (Not even Linux, your 
days will come.)  :)
