it is
. fast
. very fast
. robust
. very very fast
. it ignores most pop ups and other stuff
. doesn't load anything but text unless asked to
. no pictures
. oh yeah it is fast. (I get an average of 3-500 e-mails a day)
. it will run over third world phone lines that nothing else will work on

allows testing at the same time.
