i've run out of room for now to set up an edgy chroot - i'm developing my themes on dapper but don't like to assume they're right for 32bit os - of course the FF2 linux is in a 32 bit gaol not unlike windows versions i test using wine - all up I still have to reboot about 3-5 times a work session to make sure I accomodate windblows and it pisses me off to no end.
It is a pity that you were modded down to 2 - with over 10 years in IT that is exactly what I am seeing.
I seriously doubt that there will be a significant shift in the near future.
The fact is that most people will mindlessly accept what they percieve to good due to commonality.
The other fact is that as a result superior products will go unrecognized without appropriate counteraction.
In this case it is all the more that we can sensibly state on news feed such as this,
I hate to double post but my last looks like spaghetti bolognaise.
THUNDERBIRD AWARENESS
Tell your friends, tell your relatives - even tell your dog just for practice.
YOU tell me how something sooo excellent is going to get the right exposure otherwise...
Try it, you'll like it, I've scrapped that 'Outdoor' thing
You may very well say that but as a result I've chosen to redo all my themes from the default theme for 2.
I had done them from a recent nightly build for rc3 but don't want to assume I have all the latest changes.
I'm quite happy to do this to ensure that my themes are more compatible than otherwise.
It's no longer quite so urgent to inform the planet about Firefox but the heat's still on for Thunderbird awareness.
If you have any respect for your Uncles, Aunts and relatives in general then do like I do.
* When they aren't looking setup Thundebird the same as their current email client and remove that thing(such as Outdone or whatever) - they'll only thank you for it.
* Don't just mindlessly stagger down the street, stick your head into shops like Internet Cafes and give alternate users the drum.
Tips in this are.
1. WTF are you doing, what's wrong with you and when are you going to get help?
2. Oh man, what a way to do something tough rather than intuitive, good old frustration, nothing like it.
3. Bursting into fits of laughter whenever they try to do stuff.
In all honesty Outlook is back with the dinosaurs in terms of usability compared with Thunderbird.
Correct me if I am currently wrong but last I read Microsoft's golden rule was 'It has to be easy, not just easier'
Now come on folks, that is totally self defeatest - illogical.
The trouble is that it sucks people in, they get used to a product then deny anything else no matter how superior it is.
In the mean time most users are being confronted with the sort of stuff that gets up your nose sideways with a chisel!
I mean REALLY, why would you bother??!!.....because...that..is...what..everybody...does
Oh for FFS, snap out of it!!

All of my bases are belong to the more mature (but well hidden) martian overlords, which I for one, welcome as such.
