DD,

A bit off-topic, but your mention of the e-mail program Eudora
reminded me of an interesting bit of trivia. From the Eudora web site:

Eudora was developed by Steve Dorner at the University of Illinois,
where Mosaic was also eventually developed. Dorner was a computer
programmer working on TCP/IP applications and servers for the computer
science department on the Urbana-Champaign campus.

After working on the new e-mail program for a year, Dorner was ready
to release it for free to the Internet community at large. The working
name was UIUCMail, which Dorner realized was a tongue twister. Then he
remembered a short story written by Eudora Welty titled "Why I Live at
the P.O." It's a story about a woman who decides to live at the post
office where she works rather than put up with her family at home any
longer. Dorner was processing so much e-mail at the time that he felt
like he lived at the post office, and his program used a "post office"
protocol to fetch mail, so he saw a metaphorical connection.
