When I wasn't shopping this weekend, I was trying to move past the "what a neat toy" phase with my new laptop. OS X is enough like XP to be familiar, and enough different to be both annoying and fascinating. That's been covered elsewhere; I'll likely leave it alone....

All in all, that's a rather impressive performance. The increasing spam count is also rather impressive; after all, I added this tool to my kit because the junk seemed to be getting out of hand.

I receive between 50 and 100 e-mails each day, and read about 60% of those (the unread ones are either duplicates or spam). I used to read about 85% of my mail; the change in percentage is largely because of the increasing spam load. (Eudora has a reporting function; these numbers have some relation to reality.) Perhaps 65% of the real mail has baseball content of some sort or other; the rest is on a wide range of topics.
