I have used Thunderbird for many years now. Unfortunately, the latest version has a glitch. If it is running when I put the computer in hibernation the system will crash. It happens on average one out of three times. This started happening when Thunderbird updated to the latest version. (6.0.2)

Is there anyone else experiencing this? I’ve googled for a solution and can’t seem to find one.

I did not even know they still sold that stuff. I thought it had gone the way of Ripple or Boones Farms.

Hahaha. I guess I should clarify that I mean the Thunderbird email client.

I just realized this is in the wrong forum. Could a passing mod move this to GQ please?

I was gonna say that Wild Irish Rose has more kick, plus you’ll puke a nice blood red. But I see you’re not talking about what I was thinking of.

Me and **DrFidelius** will have our own little side conversation.

ive developed more of a taste for riding on the night train express, though both are readily available at the right package store in Nashville. Whats the word?

You didn’t say which OS you are using. Is it Lion, Snow Leopard, other?
