I was amazed at how TB has improved over the intervening years.

So it was an easy decision to pick TB from amongst several possible (free) candidates. I have used Mozilla Thunderbird (TB) as my email client in the past – also open-source and free. There are some differences with the way the Libre Office replacements work, but easy enough to learn. Write replaces Word, Calc replaces Excel and Impress replaces PowerPoint with almost seamless compatibility. And I have been very pleasantly surprised at how good Libre Office is. I have replaced MS Office (paid) with Libre Office – open source and free – donate if you want to support the development. With the recent decision by Microsoft to implement annual subscriptions for all of their products, I decided it was time for a change. So I used Outlook as an email client and have continued to use it for over twenty years. Time moved on and my company adopted Microsoft Office. My first experience of email was in the early 1990s when I was playing with dial-up and also playing with a VT100 terminal emulation connected to an interstate Unix server. Probably my methods are a mixture of old and new attitudes. Subsequent to the committee’s decision to move the club email away from Microsoft Office 365 to Google’s G Suite, I looked hard and long at how I was using email.
