There are plenty of other programmes out there so there are alternatives
to Evolution.  I use Sylpheed-claws as my mail client and it does
everything I need it to do. I don't use word processors at all and stick
to good old groff, although this past weekend I've decided to play arou
d with LaTeX (using Lyx) and I'm favourably impressed with that.  But
TeX is still to slow for me.  In a pinch I'll use OpenOffice, but I
really don't need it.

I generally use small and fast tools rather than big, bulky and slow
ones.  The Unix philosphy reigns supreme with me, and I rarely need to
violate it.

Perhaps you should cultivate that attitude and call it "Smart
Computing."  Sounds like a theme for an OCLUG presentation to me....
