And I thought it was the drink ... :-)

Actually thunderbird doesn't show up anywhere at all on the system 
except from my download, so I'm re-installing  for the fifth time 
because something is clearly wrong. I've tried various ways of 
partitioning but the thing hangs and only sees the cd drive when it 
feels like it, and when it is installed it is very slow to do anything. 
Look away for a minute and it's frozen.

I'll struggle on for a day or two then bin it
