What do you know about Thunderbird?

I've never used Thunderbird, but I was wondering if it would be worth switching to. What has been everyone's (anyone's) experience with it, and how does it rate compared to other email clients?

(Should I be looking at Macworld.com instead?)

I'll second that. If you have a boss that is willing to move from Entourage, by all means encourage that! Have you asked why he is averse to Mail? If it is the AIO aspect of Entourage he's after, Thunderbird probably isn't it. You might point out that what Entourage does can be accomplished with Mail, Address Book, and iCal. Couple those with Dashboard widgets (if you are so lucky as to be running 10.4) and you have a rather lightweight, easily accessible setup that doesn't have to use a lot of system resources. Add on SpamSieve for junk filtering and you are set. Not to mention .Mac synching (if that's an option) so people could work from away. Ah, I'm rambling. Toss the idea out and see what happens. :D

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. »
