Mass Migration/Bughunt For Thunderbird Tuesday

maggeth writes "mozillaZine is spreading the word of a plan to have a mass migration of users from other email clients on this coming Tuesday in order to find any remaining bugs in the migration process. 'Bring your Outlook, Eudora, Mozilla, Outlook Express, and Communicator e-mail clients with you and join us on IRC for a day of testing the Thunderbird migration features. The goal is to get as many testing migrations performed on as many clients and as many operating systems as possible and to discuss and record all the problems in Bugzilla.' Read the full article for more details and for the IRC location."

    Sort of like Bug-Stock. A day-long festival of software, testing, and resolution.

    Sort of like Woodstock, except without all the kick-ass music, sex, drugs and alcohol. Hmm...never mind.

    Continual thought process in Doom3: "Where is the bad-guy going to pop up next? bullets be damned, I'm running out of clean shorts!"

    So I should switch from a fully functional, secure, fast, and stable email client (Outlook) to some pile of shit just because you are having a special day for it?

    While we test our pile of shit, could you please ask the maker of your fully functional secure fast and stable email client to disable the feature that sends me spam each time some script kiddy mails you an .exe attachment? Thank you.
