While I am on the subject of idiocy from once sensible sources, I would be remiss if I skipped saying something about Thunderbird. Now what shit for brains idiot thinks HTML is a decent replacement for plain text in a messaging format. Why do I have to be forced into turning every goddamn message I write into a stinking web page. Have these simple minded children who are now forcing this shit upon us been so buried into the Apple gods way of thinking, they don’t know how to carry on a conversation online. Is everyone the purveyor of such truths that they are undeniable and not open to discussion. Is it the Jobs mentality, where because I said it, that’s it. It’s now the stinking law because I am god and irrefutable. You will help the Chinese economy by purchasing all the shit I have made there and unquestionably fall to your knees to worship at even the mention of my name, glancing skyward to see if I’m watching you my children.
My worthless piece of shit HP laptop loaded with Windows 7, a limited version of course, because now Microsoft is into begging you for quarters like some bum on a corner. Now to make matters worse the email package is non existent. Instead windows now has Live Mail. It’s cloud right so it’s better. Bullshit! It’s Hotmail with a local piece of worthless shit to handle mail so Microsoft can show you freaking damn advertising as you do your email. Greedy bastards. But bad as that is, Thunderbird from Mozilla is even worse. The program was just updated and reset my preferences to HTML web page writing shit. What kind of software does that. Why is everything I don’t want or have any use for in front of the few things I want from an email client.
Remember when we could carry on a conversation that went something like, you said, then I would insert my said, then again you would insert your new you said. Now those damn idiots feel the way to converse is you write a web page with colored letters and fancy fonts, that I can read (if I have the same fonts installed on my machine ) of course in multicolored mode. Now to reply to your “you said” I have to write a goddamn stinking web page referring to the things you said in your web page. What damn idiocy in the minds of children never raised to maturity beyond the level of adoring the colors in their crayon boxes. It is no damn wonder the world is going to shit, people vote for republicans and other acts of stupidity, while throwing common sense to the winds. Because they can no longer converse and learn from one another, just stand around making stupid statements. Outlook Express was and is the greatest improvement to email texting ever after replacing the vi editor in UNIX. Wouldn’t a nice Blue Wave email handler be a nice thing today. Why do people have to destroy things just for the sake of change?
Because some idiot wants to make a buck, that’s why. Maybe I’m showing my age. I can remember not to long ago in the eighties when we wrote code to fill a gap, and we were proud of what we had done. We wanted everyone to run it, because we were a part of something, a pride in accomplishment and that was the reason Microsoft rose to dominate the computing world. They had many hundreds of people just like my group creating great software to run on their operating systems. We gave away great software, today you see unfinished garbage where some kid learned how to invoke a system runtime, and wants money for it. The other side of the coin was full of ready made you buy it from us because we changed operating system so you had to buy more crap. Apple twerps were so proud they could keep installing new operating systems when not buying new computers they thought they were something special. Still do for that matter. Idiots with to much money and not enough knowledge, like SLR camera users. It’s what I can buy, not what I can do with it.
