Alpine and IMAP

Jul 03

To set this up, run alpine and then follow these instructions:

1. Hit S to enter Setup
2. Hit L to enter collectionLists
3. Create a new entry by hitting A

Kara's Cat made her screen go upside-down

Jun 19

Kara's cat is genius. It's name is Bubbles, after jumping on her Toshiba notebook's keyboard -- maybe it was after a mouse but only could find a touch-pad.

Anyways super key-combo cat managed to press the hot-key/s for flipping the screen orientation -- for what use there is for the feature I have no idea?!

Kara rings up and explains, I laughed until I cried. You could hear in her voice that she was freaking out that she's broken the week old note-book and how was she going to tell Ryan (Husband).
