Are you saying that Windows is hardware? Or that people will be running OS X on a VM under Widows OS? What does “cross-platform independent” mean? MS will “assimilate”? Like buy Apple’s OS?

Your post confuses me on so many levels.

Utz, you beat me to it. Where’s that ‘troll’ graphic when we need it? Quicksilver is NOT Spotlight. Period. ‘Apple bows before the MS God and sells its soul?’ That’s a perfect example of why the bell curve accurately represents the spectrum of humanity. Of course, macor is on the left side of the curve when spewing such nonsense…

Ah, one more thing: think Mail looks ugly? Try Cage Fighter, and it looks like it should.

I went to the Cage Fighter website and viewed the before and after shots.  I don’t get it.  All it seems to do is remove the little bubbles around the icons.  Other than that, I see no real difference.  Am I missing something?

Goodbye, ‘macor’. We hardly knew ye. But we’re glad on both points. The world is a better place. Safer. Cleaner.

Too bad his posts went away. No “comedy” option for this thread anymore :(

I’ll ask Ron about that. There’s probably a way to ‘ban’ a user who’s fully disruptive, yet keep the posts. I agree. The humor factor alone is worth keeping the posts, but killing, uh, er, banning the user.

And there is a way. Up to now, when a member gets out of hand and ignores warnings from the moderators, their member account is simply deleted. That also deletes all their posts, some of which may have plenty of humor value. So, I’ve created a ‘banned member’ account. The members who get out of hand simply get ‘switched off’ while their posts stay intact.

More fun for all.

I am a recent Mac convert, having purchased a Mac this summer.  I received a copy of Office from my parents as a gift, and I am wondering if I should drop Mail/Address Book/iCal in favor of Entourage.  I was wondering if anyone here has used both and which you prefer.

Is anybody using any of the ‘second tier’ email applications for Mac OS X?

- Mailsmith
- Mulberry (I think they died)
- Eudora
- Thunderbird

Any others?

Has anyone ever done or seen a side-by-side comparison of all the email applications for Mac OS X? Tera always complains that no one does that anymore, probably because it takes forever to line up all the features, side-by-side.
