Alternative Apps
Ever since Apple “updated” their Mail application to include Notes and ToDos a few years ago I have loathed it’s very existence. Google “recursive inbox Apple mail” and you’ll see that I have a considerable constituency of like minded peers. Sadly because email isn’t a glamorous global position reporting social networking application, it was unlikely that a company was going to pursue creating a better way to manage email for the Mac.
By the same token I put off installing Adobe Photoshop on my new MacBook Pro because I don’t need a starship to drive to the cafe. The thought of spending time on the phone with Adobe to sort out licensing issues because I switched computers had me cringing almost as much as I do when my computer starts to crawl because the absurd Adobe updater is gleefully bouncing in my dock uninvited. My laptop is meant to be a field tool. And in the field, I need to be quick and agile.
So I set out on a hunt to see if alternative applications existed to these seriously entrenched pieces of software. I’m happy to tell you dear reader that I have returned triumphant.
