Macs and Elite Mail

I wish PGP would also be able to work on a mac. And lucky for the P.C. users Microsoft ditched the DOS system in the new XP....oh yeah...and if Macs suck dick so much, why did Gates steal the G.U.I. from them....add that to the almost identical platform XP is to Mac Os.......and then subtract all the viruses you are prone to get with a p.c. Sleep tight!
Let's see...
The whole point of this thread is the major reason to dump the useless Mac and get a PC. Not compatible with anything, barely any software available, etc.....
True, Windows sucks some ass as well. But hell, the best things in life aren't free either.... Just sorry that none of you Mac users will have an EF mail address.

Re: Let's see...
Useless mac? Have you ever used one?
Macs are very good for certain things, compatibility, much better than a PC...a mac can read almost all documents from a PC but the other way around, the PC can't even recognize a mac disk?...more campatible?
Programs like Adobe Photo, Illustrator, Quark, etc were all designed for macs and operate much faster and more smoothly on a macintosh....under the PC platform they operate very awkwardly...this is my field so this is why I ditched my PC for a far supurior mac...
Not as much software, you must be a game freak...I realy don't care about games...
But PC do have their place, I still keep my PC around to rest my protein shake on when typing...

OK, lets not get into a Mac vs PC debate - ok?
Besides, any windoze user who gets into that with me, will lose. I have worked with all major OS's (and bill my time out at over $120 an hour to help people when I do ...) so lets not go there, at all.
Here are some facts and info, that will help people on this board.
The Hushmail engine (which elite mail uses) is very very Windoze-centric. Sure, it *will* work on some non-windoze OSs, but its obvious that all that company cares about is windoze because people using other OS's (not just MacOS, but also Linux, Solaris, etc) have a lot of problems with Hushmail, and Hush couldn't care less. I think they ONLY test on (or give a crap about) Windoze (which of course, is a tesing nightmare in and of itself, becuase there is now Win 95, 95, ME, 2000, XT, XP, etc etc etc ALL out there - LOL - good luck!)
The person that said that OS X (10) for Mac with the new MS Intenet Explorer 5.1 for Mac, will work, was correct. OS X has a much more robust and compatible version of a Java implementation.
Also, Mac users using OS 9.x and below (not sure how low though, probably only down to 8.5) may use Virtual PC and get hushmail to work correctly. I currently have VPC on My mac, and it's a simple matter for me to run Win 98, Win ME, and Win 2000, simultaneously. (Try THAT on a PC! LOL)
I have contacted Hushmail about these problems, and they dont seem to care. In fact, I have not been able to use my hush account since their load-of-shit version 2 upgrade. Others have had the same problem.
I contacted George (or someone in charge) here at Elite a while back about the fact that their mail engine is very very Windoze-centric, but they are not going to change. I respect that, if they want to ignore 20% of their potential users, that their choice (thats not a jab at them, its their business decsision, its their choice).
Meanwhile, Ziplip works well, and has always been better and easier to use than Hush anyway.
By the way - there IS PGP available for the Mac. I don;t know wher ethat guy got his info, but he is incorrect.
But I just use ziplip, it works just fine. For EVERYONE.
Later for now.
