- Freedom from Energy Infrastructure, so that we cannot be deprived of the energy we need to communicate.

E no, non mi tirate fuori la storiella dei driver che non sono sotto il controllo di…

Un pensierino

Tutti amano Thunderbird, anche chi lo usa su Windows. Anzi soprattutto chi lo usa sul famigerato sistema operativo proprietario perché l’altrettanto famigerato Outlook sembra rendere impossibili cose che con Thunderbird son semplicissime, come per esempio cercare qualcosa in più cartelle ed account contemporaneamente.
