email: i used outlook express for a few years, then moved onto outlook. in the general scheme of things its not the most safest thing out there, but i’ve become used to it. i’ve tried the mozilla thunderbird client a few times, the last time i uninstalled it in a fit of frustration, basic things that an email client should do… it just wasnt doing. eudora needs 40euros a year, opera is something similar.

calender: i’ve tried mozillas new calender add on for the firefox browser and gave up after a few tries. having it as a plug in for thunderbird or firefox or mozilla just doesnt make any sense to me. thankfully, i found out that they had a stand alone one, sundbird, so i tried that out aswell, but it too is at a very early point in its developement to be of any use.

anyway, a new calender programme would be cool so i could output my calender (maybe contacts too) in ical format so that when i do get a new phone later this summer i can connect/sync it to that.

so, im stuck using outlook, its got about seven years of emails stuck in there (easily exportable i know, just a lot of hassle. i go from having several easy to handle .pst files to having lots of tiny files hidden away in a folder in some profile with a strange name).

what i’m trying to say here i dont know, just a nice ramble to have. the google gmail account is great, needs some work though. tomorrow is my final day in finnish school, my choclate break does not include choclate ice-cream and some trojan virus has tried 230 times in the last 4hours to get into my computer. strange.
