Such fond memories, I remember modplay, which thankfully someone else on HN wrote about: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19007804 - I think I first found it on a 1.44" on the front of a magazine in the 90s. Since

I've slept on the train plenty of times. Once you get used to the journey I honestly don't know how, but you often wake up just before you stop. Fortunately I've not missed my stop when sober. I'm sure the first few jour

qmail since 2003. No intention of changing, well, maybe to postfix. There's several advantages for me, I can easily backup Maildir with find -mtime +90, tar and purge. Using mutt to read my own mail makes filtering off spam very easy.
