grr.

Dear Apple:

Hey, remember back in the day when part of the draw for your stuff was that it Just Worked? Yeah, me too. That was cool while it lasted, wasn't it?

What? Me? Oh, I'm just looking at Eudora, since Mail seems to not want to remember my email password and wants to re-download 1174 gmail messages, whether they've been deleted or not, every hour or so. (Yeah, that last one could be a gmail thing, but I'm more in a mood to blame you than I am Google right now.) No, I don't know if I'm going to download it or not yet ... I'm going to have to see how annoying your little Mail glitch--which has apparently been an issue since 2007--is before I decide. Though there's a certain hilarity to returning to Eudora after 11 or 12 years that I'm finding hard to resist ...

Oh, hush, iPhoto is still pretty cool, and even though Scrivener has a Windows version now, you're still prettier. I just think the bloom is off the rose, Apple. It's sad but true.

No love, just tolerance,

Laura
