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:

  1. Thunderbird
  2. Eudora
  3. Pegasus
  4. Any flavor of web mail
  5. The old UNIX email client
  6. No email at all
  7. A Pine-Sol colonic
  8. Xmail
  9. Having someone book Anna Nicole Smith on your talk show as a joke
  10. Outlook
  11. Having Anna Nicole Smith give you a Pine-Sol colonic
  12. Outlook Express
  13. Being slowly eaten by rodents
  14. Lotus Notes
  15. 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.

You listed nothing in number 3 and Outlook at number 10. Can I quote you as saying that nothing is better than Outlook?

...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.

Lemme 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...
