KDE looks a bit like the MS Windows (95..2000) interface.  I
will probably be putting blackbox in front of people though,
because it's fast, uncluttered and nicely configurable. They
have been using Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird on MS
Windows, which should ease the transition.  I have seen
Eudora users move to Thunderbird without much pain.
