Again though, I can't really think of a modern app at least as complex that
uses much less ram... Also, if it had really agressive paging, it could use
less ram, but would run slower. It's a fui app that displays rendered markup,
and images.

I'm not the one suggesting tbird needs to go... Also, looking at poppeeper's
screenshots, weren't you the one bitching about tbird being dumbed down, then
you suggest an app with an even simpler interface... you still haven't made
mention to what exactly has been so dumbed down. Or for that matter been
dumbed down from prior versions... there's also no threaded discussion
grouping? What about that dumbed down message writer, and address book?
