The Space Shuttle team is having problems getting their email. They wouldn't happen to be using Outlook, would they? :) (I didn't intend it, but today is looking to be 'Bash Microsoft Day' here at MetaFilter)

Anyone stupid enough to use Microsoft email clients doesn't deserve to get email. A solution to their problem? Yeah. Get Pine and learn to use it. What is so amazing is the amount of time people waste on trying to get Microsoft's pathetic products to work. It's a waste of one's most valuable resource: your time, people just can't seem to grasp the idea that in over 10 years Microsoft has yet to develop a fully functional product. Anyone have anything to add to this?

heh, I just read the dead trees version of "In the Beginning...Was the Command Line" and it reminded me once again of Microsoft's hold on most computer users.
