Waiting for...

Do you ever notice how during any given day, you can kind of sit wherever you are, kind of in expectation of something to happen? Of course, you may be fully aware it is unlikely to, or even a dead cert that it won't, but quietly, somewhere inside, you are full of quiet expectation? What of? I don't have a clue!! But, I think I maybe have more of these days than perhaps most, simply from the sedentary, solitary lifestyle I lead. You're kind of filled with don't think its a longing, but something bigger or better to come along, that will ease the bordeom? Don't know if its boredom or not. But sometimes that quiet expectation or hope maybe is there, even when you are not consciously thinking of it. I always used to use the saying, if Mohammed won't go to the mountain, then the mountain must go to Mohammed. And think the thought behind that can be true. In that we can wait, and wait and wait, or long and long and long, or numerous other emotions, yet, sometimes you just have to go get what you want, which may in the end be for all of us, right within the spectrum we sit now, and nothing outside of it. I probably have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, but if I could get it out better, it would make more sense!

In the meanwhile, (very wonder womanish) I have always been a microsoft freak. Not cos I neccessarily thought Bill Gates software was better than anyone elses. But software is a bit like food to me, stick with what you know. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! (Tho are sure some would argue that MS software is beyond broke) but that means I have almost always stayed with internet explorer, Microsoft outlook or outlook express as my email client. Tho have tried numerous other ones over the years but always went back to MS in the end. I've tried Eudora, Pico, (a particuarly nice one I thought) and theres others whose names have been long forgotten. But, I thought I would give Thunderbird a whirl. And while I still don't like it as much as MS its adquate at least. And what I do like about it, which with MS you have to buy an additional proggie to be able to do it, is it has a fascility to write your emails and send them later even if on an always on connection. That can be very handy for drafting emails and also if you don't want to spend a certain part of the day writing mails, but want them to be recieved at such a time. And for me, changing anything and getting used to it, is not easy. But, I may just hang onto thunderbird a while and keep MS outlook running in the background as a security blanket belt and braces job. As for some reason, (and I know tis odd!) I actually distrust other email clients, simply because I have used MS the greater majority of the time, and found little bother with them. I used to like the ding dong noise of Eudora when mail arrived, so I stuck with that for a while, but mails has come on lots since those days. And Thunderbird tho in my view less than perfect, (tho could be I just not figured it all out yet) will stay as second or substute client for as and when I feel the need or it has some particular function that MS lacks. |
