Check out my new computer guys. Excited to try out this "Oregon Trail" game - bet the graphics are intense.

(This is an Apple IIc my Grandparents owned, gifted to me. I'm pretty sure I was the one who put the Hot Wheels stickers on it back in the early 90s).

@ryanleesipes as a recent Outlook/365 defector, posts like this make me want to donate to the cause.

Which is exactly what I just did. Thanks for the public outreach @ryanleesipes and keep up the great work 💕

It's time to explain Thunderbird's relationship to Mozilla again.

Thunderbird is in its own legal entity - MZLA Technologies and is governed in part by a Community Council elected by and from our open source contributors.

Thunderbird is currently 100% donation-funded. We do not receive any money outside what our donors give us.

This is good for Thunderbird and makes us unique. Our whole structure only works to serve the interests of our users and contributor community.
