Sorry, Gmail was being a pain in the arse.  Yes, OS9 had a better UI
than early OS X, but its security was non existent and ditto for tools
that I take for granted on any Mac today (such as ping, emacs,
tracepath, telnet, and ssh).

Yes, Dr Kaiser is doing great work, but where is telnet, ssh, ping,
tracepath, fsp, apache, epic, etc.?
