Moving away from Mozilla Suite

I was writting a few posts ago (at the moment Google Desktop Search was the hero of the moment) that I am probably considered a bad Windows user: I haven't touch Outlook or Outlook Express for quite a long time and I am opening IE just to set the proxy options to allow the Eclipse Browser widget to work fine (this is quite a trick). For a long time for me web browsing and mail clients meant just Mozilla Suite. I was very happy with it. But in the last few months I have started slowly to move away from it. But, hey wait a minute. I am not going the so far away. I have just passed to its little (but quickly growing) brothers: FireFox and Thunderbird. I have regained trust in FireFox starting with the 0.9 version. There I have rediscovered the stability and the smaller memory footprint. I have used it in parallel just up to 1.0PR and I must say that after some time the Mozilla browser just remained closed. Now I am on FireFox 1.0RC2 and probably I will be between the first getting the 1.0 [blink/]. About the other brother I have only good words too! Thunderbird installed smoothly taking control over everything I have had in Mozilla. Moreover it brought into scenes the Find Folders, a feature that I was looking so disparate after (from time to time I have read some developer documentation in order to finally write down my own plugin for this). But the guys have read my mind and the 0.9 came out having this. It is a very warm and pleasant feeling to know that some guys are developing the right things. So, good bye my friend Mozilla Suite. It has been a pleasure working with you! Welcome little brothers and I hope that my experience with both of you will be as smooth and delightfull as with your big brother. I hope for you three that some day you will be the top of the tops! (for me, you already are for quite a while). PS: I will probably miss the common about:config [smile/].
