We're joining today's #TuneTuesday as Thunderbird! Today's theme is #MyGenerationMusic and we're going back 20 years (!) to 2004 when Thunderbird 1.0 came into the world. To us, this song still sounds as good as it did two decades ago!

What was playing when you made your debut? (Fellow open source project socials, we're looking at you!)

No need for spells, eldritch invocations, or inherent abilities to see Thunderbird's dark side. To enable dark mode in Thunderbird:

Thunderbird (hamburger) Menu > Add-ons and Themes > Themes

Feel free to tell everyone you know about this! Repeatedly. :angery:

We're often asked "When can I use Thunderbird in my browser?" It's a logical question! After all, Thunderbird was built on top of Firefox technologies, right?

🕘 December 2009: Maybe you were upgrading your computer to the new Windows 7, or checking out Ubuntu 9.10. Perhaps you were pouring all your free time into Valve’s ridiculously fun survival shooter Left 4 Dead 2. And maybe, just maybe, you were eagerly anticipating installing Thunderbird 3.0…

Step back into the Thunderbird Time Machine as Jason looks at what made this such a landmark release!
