An Apology
To: Microsoft
From: Mitch Berg
Re: Apology
I know; I've ripped on your "Outlook" email/personal info manager program in the past.
And with good reason; it is a bloated monstrosity, a security nightmare and has a user interface that I used to think was a total mess. At home I use Thunderbird or Eudora exclusively.
But after this past year,I owe you an apology. The hierarchy of the Windows email/PIM universe is as follows:
- Thunderbird
- Eudora
- Pegasus
- Any flavor of web mail
- The old UNIX email client
- No email at all
- A Pine-Sol colonic
- Xmail
- Having someone book Anna Nicole Smith on your talk show as a joke
- Outlook
- Having Anna Nicole Smith give you a Pine-Sol colonic
- Outlook Express
- Being slowly eaten by rodents
- Lotus Notes
- Being stuck in a bus station for a weekend during a blizzard with the guy who accosted me at Flash's birthday party.
Just giving credit where credit is due.

But I love the little envelope icon that pops up when you have mail.
Posted by: Kermit at November 29, 2005 10:48 AMYou listed nothing in number 3 and Outlook at number 10. Can I quote you as saying that nothing is better than Outlook?
Posted by: Thomas Pfau at November 29, 2005 12:20 PM...also that nothing is better than having Anna Nicole Smith give you a Pine-Sol colonic?

Ok, maybe on second thought I'm a generous enough guy that pointing, mocking laughter and rolling on the ground are inapprorpiate.

Posted by: Bill C at November 29, 2005 12:37 PMLemme guess, you've gotta you Blotus Notes at work, eh? Having gone from Notes to Outlook, I have to say I was happy. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get Tbird to interact with our Exchange server well...
