Help Me Merlin-Wan Kenobi, You're My Only Hope (Entourage vs. iCal/Mail/Address Book)

Merlin, I feel you when I say that I've tried and tried to like using Apple's trio of productivity apps. But I cannot kick the Entourage habit. I like my full contact history, the links between messages, the Palm Sync, and launching one app instead of three.

You've mentioned some of those same things on 43f, and I was wondering how you made it to using the triumvirate without feeling all weird. I've tried to use Apple's offerings in the past and it all just felt clunky.

macfixer,

This (Address Book locks up) is not typical at all; you haven't installed a Chronos product have you? Merlin is right; if Entourage works, great, stay there. Tell us why you want to switch, and then maybe we can better help.

emory,
the new avatar is much better. Thanks,

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
