downsides of technology advance
I’ve been using mozilla thunderbird as mua since I first installed windows on my laptop (needed for easports’ fifa
); I have only praises for this piece of software, which, with a few addons, suits me just fine – nothing more, nothing less than what it is supposed to do
before that, back in 2003-2004 or something, I switched from the memory-hog and resource-eater kmail (bundled with kde) to the lightweight sylpheed-claws – which also was exactly what it said, with nothing more, nothing less
yesterday my tbird asked me for a update to version 3 (from 2, so that’s a major update) – I respectfully declined, not being in the mood of updating all plugins and themes … thank god for my indolence
today I came across the latest version of tbird at a friend of mine, and I might say that tbird v3 vs tbird v2 is a ugly as microsoft outlook vs outlook express … fuck all those unwanted features; who gives a shit on tabbed browsing, except in a browser ?! why the fuck did you have to implement this in an email reader ?!
it might look shiny and fancy, but for fuck’s sake, it is only an email reader, not a customizable agenda/calendar/reminder/whatever …. what the fuck happened to the KISS policy ?!
this being said, I will see if the windows port of claws mail has gpg and imap support and if it has, good bye tbird … anyways, my next laptop won’t see windows (vista and win 7 suck all the way, made by wankers for stupid wankers
)
