Hopefully, Magic Cap for Windows will correct the situation by >allowing multimedia capabilities even for a desktop. > I've been following the list using Eudora on my Mac because I can scan through a large number of postings quickly and it's also easy to cut and paste information from other sources (the web, old postings or my files) to quickly respond to people's information requests. Also, keep in mind that there may be some people on the list who do not (yet) own a communicator but are just testing the waters.
