I know all about Marinetti v2.0 seeing as I've tested it for Richard
over the past six months or so.  :-)

At present I'm writing an e-mail client that uses Marinetti to connect
to POP3 and SMTP servers.  So I'm not really inventing the wheel as
there currently is no POP3/SMTP e-mail clients available for the IIgs.

I might end up reinventing the wheel at some point because I've got
this crazy idea in my head to do an entire suite of programs called
Internet Neighbourhood.  So my first program will be called:

     IN:  The Mailbox.  (my e-mail client :-)

Hopefully to be followed by:

     IN:  The Library  (FTP)
     IN:  The Newstand  (newsreader)

I'm pretty sure there are people working on these types of programs as
I type but you never know.  I could have an entirely different
approach to writing these programs than they do so having more than
one available might be nice.
