That Darn Outlook PST

Posted by

Seems I forgot to compact one of my PSTs in Outlook (which I should've done frequently). It's now over the 2GB barrier and I had to truncate the last 100MB from it. Thankfully, it was only my NewsGator folder. Perhaps it's time I move away from Outlook as a news aggregator? FeedDemon has only gotten better with time, and it's a lot less unweildy as an information manager. Yes, I realize that newer versions of Outlook don't have this shortcoming (limiting the size of a PST), but I also realize that Outlook versions beyond 2000 are unusable. I've gone to great lengths to prove to pepole how Outlook XP and Outlook 2003 suck, and people “in the know” completely agree with me. You can't argue with suck, man. Today's suck, however, is totally my sucking fault. You can't count on a program to remind you what to do – not even if it's a program that has reminders (like Outlook).
