    Hum, not quite yet. But, it is definitely catching up.

      To really watch Evolution in motion peform the following steps...
      • obtain one (1) laptop & install favourite linux distro (debian in my case)
      • apt-get install evolution (or however you would install an app in your favourite distro).
      • make sure laptop is unplugged from electrical, ethernet sockets..
      • pick laptop up and hurl as far as possible across room.. (also, ignore all those wierd looks you get from co-workers)
      • last but not least, hope atleast somebody finds this funny..

    Good for them. I myself just released 2.10, for a can of pop and bag of chips. That comes on the heels of a 1.30 release, into a parking meter.

  5. PINE in time for Christmas! by insanecarbonbasedlif · · Score: 4, Funny


    Get your brand new green PINE tree in time to decorate for christmas! You could mod it with all blue lights... imagine a beowulf cluster of christmas trees! Merry Christmas to all!

    Seriously though, threads help a ton in organizing messages. :)

    Just because I doubt myself does not mean I find your position compelling.

      Sorry, those blue lights aren't accepted into the changefiles, so they'll have to go. You may not release your own blue-light-PINE either.

  6. First?! by sielwolf · · Score: 5, Funny
    Ah, my first "real" e-mail program


    Careful, captain. Some of us are still using Pine.

    Of course I'm not surprised by the reaction. My mother saw me sshing to my box once and said "Oh God, that brings back horrible memories..." Who says that UI has nothing to do with End User acceptance? Me personally: I love it. But to most people its like "Why do you go out hunting with a bow and arrow when we can get perfectly good meat down at the Kroger?"

      Not a fair analogy. A better one would be "Why go out hunting with a bow and arrow when you could chase squirrels, beat them senseless with your plastic Outlook cd case, then eat their brains?"

    And don't forget about pico (pine composer), which has been making bad programmers worse for more years than I care to remember.
