Indeed. I am not sure that "dinosaur" is the best analogy here as they 
are now thought to have died in a sudden catastrophe. Eudora would be 
better likened to a common animal which (at least on an evolutionary 
model) failed to adapt to a changing environment and so gradually became 
extinct, replaced by animals which were more adaptable.
