Just thought I'd note: Microsoft later called this font 'Andale Mono'. They
are one and the same.

I use a variety of fonts: Fixedsys for Free Agent (my newsreader), Lucida
Console in my EMail program and in my Text Editor, Courier New in something
- I forget what, but I definitely use it somewhere... and the ol' DOS window
font, although that's not usable in MS Outlook :)

Kind Regards,
-Martin
