Ever notice how no other pim-like application feels the need to store |
13 |
everything in mysql or similar? The fact that so many pim-like apps |
14 |
actually do work should count for something |

I haven't used konqueror as a browser in many many months, I get along |
35 |
just fine with firefox and chromium. I believe konqueror is essentially |
36 |
unmaintained these days or at least on life support. Make a fine file |
