Portability in Action

The cross platform nature of Cincom Smalltalk has helped another person - here's The Lutheren Zephyr, who was looking for a reader that would work on Windows 98:

Dad to the rescue! Hearing of my predicament my dad offered me an old laptop, allowing me to blog on the train to and from work. I am now equipped with a Sony Vaio SuperSlim Pro notebook, model PCG-5211. It's about 6 years old, and runs Windows 98 (which is no longer supported by Microsoft). Since it is running Windows 98, I had a challenge finding a RSS reader that would work on Windows 98 AND allow me to read blogs offline. But I found one - BottomFeeder.

Actually, you can draft posts for a blog using the blog posting tool as well :)

Hmm, isn't there usually a link to the qouted text?

If you're drinking the Gillmor gesture Kool-Aid, it helps to spell the name correctly:
