Re: [PLUG] Thomas E Kurtz, android Thunderbird

[Walt Mankowski via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I never did much with traditional BASIC after an intro to programming
class, but Visual Basic remains the easiest system I've ever used to
throw together a simple GUI application.

I've also never done much of anything with Thunderbird. What I really
wish is that mutt was available on mobile platform. I don't see it
ever being adapted to a touch interface, but hey, a guy can dream!
