    Boomerang!

    How interesting -- QuickConference was developed first by CE, then was sold in April 1998 to the Prairie Group. Now CE is buying their baby back.

    I used the 1995-era QuickConference and QuickMail, and they were great applications. CE deserves sainthood status for developing QuicKeys, and I wish them the best of luck with this.

    not that it matters...

    ...but didn't they own this before? We had QuickMail back in the mid-90s, and rapidly abandoned the platform while they screwed their customers as they finally woke up and made the transition to a non-LAN-based product. QuickMail definitely included QuickConference, and had they a clue at that time, they might have been able to jump the gun before AOL Instant Messenger came and ate their lunch.

    Isn't this company dead yet?

    Dead? No way.

    I still use QuickMail, version Pro 2.1, and it's still great, easy-to-use software. I did spend some time with Entourage, Eudora, Outlook Express and some of the lesser alternatives but I found no compelling reason to change. I like QuickMail so much sometimes I compose regular text in QuickMail just because it feels good. The best feature: tiny screen real estate, if you set the preferences right. No long row of icons running down the side of my screen. Second best feature: not having to view mail in a frigging pane. A message in a separate window! I do realize you can change this on some of the other clients. Also, Eudora's nickname feature is the worst sort of kludgery.
