Congratulations!  Actually, I've been giving it some thought and to me,
SAM is a more important announcement than SIS was.  As a web
browser, SIS was a technical achievement for the IIGS but most
people would rather read web pages with Netscape.  However, as
an email reader, the IIGS comes in handy.

Long after I had email access on my PC, I still used the IIGS to check
email on my shell account.  At least as long as I had it.  It was very
convenient and since the IIGS could boot faster, I used it a lot for
email.

Since I lost my shell account, my IIGS has been sitting there waiting
for something like SAM.  With SAM, IIGS email is back in business.

Thanks for a wonderful product Mr. Wannop!
