As I have gotten older I’ve found that things that I thought were important aren’t actually all that important. A good example of this was the frustration I would have using Windows and the UI inconsistencies that existed, they would be the bane of my existence and ultimately what drove me into the arms of having getting Apple devices.

I don’t want to get too political but if you force employers to pay for their healthcare of their employees (rather than having a single payer healthcare system where it is funded through taxes – everyone chips in a bit of money to the kitty) and have a strong dollar policy then don’t be surprised that it makes your industry uncompetitive. It has been years since I’ve seen a GM or Ford car in New Zealand but there are plenty of cars coming from Japan, Korea, Europe and Chinese vehicles have made their way such as ‘Great Wall’ 4WD utes for example.

Apparently they are working on being able to send from aliases however it is still work in progress (link). I thought it may have been an old article but it appears that it is the case:
