Yet another reason why Microsoft sucks.

Usually when I go to write a blog post I compose it in the notes section of Entourage (my email client). Last month my friend Jarrod asked me to write an article for his website and I happily agreed. Even though it took at least 20 combined hours to write and it made me hella procrastinate because of it's tediousness, I finally completed it 2 days ago by forcing myself to sit down and plow through it. It was so ready, it could have been cut and pasted that day. To ANYTHING. But I ignored my better judgement and said to myself, double backup is paranoia. So yesterday entourage decided that the database was corrupt and would no longer access ANY of the data. That includes email, notes, contacts, preferences etc. Nobody ever said anything about the 2GB data limit of entourage. If I could strangle any software program till my fingers leave imprints on it's soft tender flesh and bruises on its trachea, this would be the one. Thanks Microsoft. Thanks a lot.

PS. yes i said hella.
