     Well, ham radio operators are "frugal cheapskates", and there's not   
   a thing wrong with that. Several years ago, there was a DC to Daylight   
   rig at Hamvention for $20,000!! Now, I could outfit a nice shack (or   
   buy a nice car) for that; but for one rig, to me that's overkill.   
      
    EV> "My thoughts" about doing that is that Mailwasher Free just tells the   
    EV> Webmail Server only to DELETE the Email instead of letting the Webmail   
    EV> Server MARK that one as SPAM and send it to the Email Accounts SPAM   
    EV> BOX, so the Webmail Server CAN REMEMBER what i think it should do to   
    EV> the message so Mailwasher won't even see it.   
      
     I don't remember the features of it...but it was lifetime registration,   
   as I recall.   
      
    EV> I don't use the computer for any bsnking, If I want to buy something I   
    EV> see advertised by a Companies internet page, I will call their toll   
    EV> free number to see if they will accept my personal check for the item   
    EV> and then send what I ordered when the check has cleared.  Works for me.   
      
     I don't do any transactions on the phone app...mainly for checking the   
   balance, and updating the checkbook.   
      
    EV> I hope You never get BIT doing that.   
      
     I was the victim of identity theft years ago, at a hamfest. They did   
   reimburse the money, but it was a pain to fix. Then, in late 2009, I   
   ended up filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I'm long since discharged from   
   that, but with what little I get on disability, that's not enough to    
   have a credit card.   
      
     Don't get me started about those greedy [idiots] in Washington, DC,   
   who lament "they can't survive on $200,000+ a year"...they don't have   
   a clue.    
      
    EV> I also ran DOS 5.0 and used QEMM.   
    EV> Years later I was at a Salvation Army Thrift Store and bought a CD that   
    EV> had IBM DOS 7 on it.   
      
     Wow. I'm going to get a bunch of shareware files from Sean, KS4TD, soon.   
   I made a donation to his BBS, and he's burning a bunch of CD's/DVD's to   
   send to me.   
      
    EV> I didn't remove MS DOS 5.0, I figured if I entered a Command, that IBM   
    EV> DOS 7 would use its version of the Command and if still wanted to use   
    EV> DOSSHELL or another Command that wasn't in IBM's DOS 7 that I could do   
    EV> that since the DOS 5.0 files still were on the pc.   
      
     The only reason I upgraded to Windows 10 (32-bit on the BBS computer,   
   which is now on what was my late Mom's computer, 64-bit on the Lenovo   
   laptop, where I do my ham radio nets, square dancing, and BBS related   
   items), was for the security issues and updates. Otherwise, I was happy   
   with Windows XP and then 7...I never did use Vista or 8.
