I've been playing with it all day. yet another hard drive failed on me this 
morning so with time on my hands I thought I'd take a look.

I've no experience with Thunderbird so it took me a while to fathom it out, so 
far I've changed the theme, added some extensions, can receive email's
(cant send yet but thats my fault as I cant remember my ISP smtp settings).

Have set up some rss feeds and installed a note/reminder add-on. I have to say 
I'm very very impressed while I agree there could be some Employer rules 
issues this is great for people on the move. (Do I smell an opportunity?)

I'm gonna have another look at the wiki as I thought it could be used with 
Linux but I've just tried and it didn't work, again that maybe my ignorance 
or misunderstanding of its capabilities.

At the moment I have it on an externall USB HDD in a caddy I purchased from 
some rogue in Cheslyn Hay, I need to invest in a proper flash drive to give 
it a thorough test with hopefully some tweaks that'll make it startup the 
moment its plugged in.

Well done Shane for making me aware of this.
