Yes it does, my mailer is MacKennel - not even listed. Been out for years
too.

I stand by my statement. a much higher percentage of all Macs are on the
internet than all IBM and clones. This will be changing with Win 95 becoming
installed and actually used, but it was true till very recently, and I think
still is.
BC> 4% according to the latest numbers I've seen in PCWEEK and
BC> InfoWORLD.
Both of those rags are _*BIASED*_. (Can I emphasize that any more?) I
wouldn't trust them any further than I can throw them and Byte is no better.
I believe Intel and Bill Gates own them all. Or at least they own
their souls - no matter how hard they protest.
When you get a minute, start asking people on the net which kind of computer
they prefer to run on the net. I bet you hear a larger number of "Mac" than
you expect.

Now take a look at the Mac and see what a *good* GUI is all about. Win95
still takes absurd liberties with the paradigm. And us Mac users have been
doing it better since January '84... almost 12 years *before* "95" was
available for purchase.
