M.O.T.T.


- or there was a dinosaur in my office!

Some years ago a good friend back in Norway went through the long process of establishing an own bakery. Via competence, the philosophy of speciality rather than quantity along with high dreams - he, his family and co-workers made the bakery a success and soon established them as the leading "speciality bakery" in Oslo.

Sitting far away in Cairo, I still remember his fresh and tasty products - but more I remember first time he came and delivered bread and cakes. There he came in to my shop with a big satisfied grin in his face and a large colourful button on his jacket. The text on the button said: "I do not want another piece of the cake - I want the whole bloody bakery".

So as this is the last main article about email - I do not want to give you just another email client, but the whole.....

See my point?

No?

Okay - allow me then to explain!

A year ago - or so - I was on one of those eternal searches after the ultimate email client, and I did not find just a client - I found the whole bakery. Meaning I found JS Office which provides a brilliant word processor, email, fax, bookmark organiser, address book, calendar and organiser and more. And all this in LESS than a 3Mb download - beat that Microsoft, Word Perfect or Star Office...

Glenn (who created and develops JS Office) - tell me that one of his next step is to make the program evens smaller - without losing any features!!! Let me say that Glenn state at his site for JS Office - that this program is not a replacement for the most specialised features in the giant office program. Let me also add personally that JS Office still give us what we need most of the time. In short - if I should compare JS Office with the giant office programs on the market, JS Office is a pocket-book office compared with Gutenberg's first printed books...

And this lead me to why I believe that JS Office is one of the MOST important programs available today.

Why?
If "dinosaur" is defined as "any of numerous extinct terrestrial reptiles of the Mesozoic era" - allow me then to define the huge office programs as "soon extinct terrestrial white elephants of the MS era".
