Eudora Just Keeps Getting Better Scot Finnie Finally, a mail program that can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. In other words, Eudora Pro Email 4.1 sends, receives and filters mail while you read and compose messages. Another first is direct support for sending and receiving America Online e-mail. Both features have been a popular demand of Eudora users, and both worked fairly well when I tested Eudora Pro Email 4.1's beta version. Eudora Pro Email 4.1 can import account settings, address books, and mail messages and folders from rival products, including Microsoft's Outlook Express, 97 and 98, and Netscape's Messenger. In addition, Qualcomm adds support for Apple's QuickTime 3, which allows you to view common graphics files, such as GIFs, in messages; you can also view invisible text characters. Best of all, a free update is available online for Eudora Pro 4.0x owners. Eudora's almost-legendary quirky interface remains, but hey, I'm getting used to it. And no other product beats Eudora for e-mail filtering, multiple accounts and esoteric little functions that please propeller heads, so it stays on our WinList. $39; free upgrade for 4.0x users.

Dave - regarding Bill Fleckenstein -- I was actually a paying subscriber to Jim Grant's Grant's Interest Rate Observer (for several years) (it is fairly expensive). I finally reached the conclusion that even though Jim Grant is one of the smartest, neatest, most intellectual Wall Street types that I have ever followed closely -- there is no point reading his stuff, especially when it really "clouds" one's thinking with respect to making investment decisions. I am either long or short a lot of U.S. short-term interest rate futures contracts (for my own account), and tend to stay on "one side of the market" (i.e., just plain long, or just plain short) for periods of at least a year or two. You would think that all of the brain power of someone like Jim Grant (and, all of his staff, and contacts developed from years of working at Barrons) would have some positive value to someone like me, but I decided it really had negative value. This was very disappointing to me (on an "intellectual" level), because I am still extremely impressed with Jim Grant. I love hearing his thoughts on Wall Street Week and CNBC. I just have to remember not to rush out and put on a trade based on him. I get the feeling that Bill Fleckenstein is "doomed" to a Jim Grant type "karma." He is really smart. What he says makes sense. Just make sure to ignore his opinions (at least until a lot of things change). Jon.
