At home, my wife uses is to run a nice GUI mail client that's safe from
Windows viruses etc. (since it's actually running on a Linux box),
under Windows 95.

I'm also doing the same thing on my laptop at work, for when I'm off
site and want to slogin to read my email (which again, is delivered to
my Linux machine there).
