He is using Ford motor cars as an example.  However, the Edsel was well ahead 
of its time which was the major problem.  Quirky styling, push button 
automatic transmission selector in the middle of the steering wheel, and very 
large engines.  I owned both.  No, Thunderbird as a mailer for Ubuntu has not 
been dropped.
