Hey - - Just a sorta-rant.
I am continually amazed when I use various programs how the application of some data-smart would improve the product. One obvious example that we have discussed before (in a different context) is the Windows registry -- what an odd way to store such essential data. Another is Outlook -- maybe it has gotten better, as I haven't used it for eMail for some time -- but when you add a person to your address book, it never checks to see whether the eMail address or person by that name, or whatever is already in there. For me, it manifested itself when somebody changed eMail clients, or otherwise changed their "display name" (not address) -- they go in again. The latest example for me is iToonies. (Yes, I know: "Use something else!" But my Kiddles use it, and I have a "Hey, listen to this" shared folder to expose them to interesting music.) When you add a song file, it does not check to see if it is already in there! because I have had to change the physical location of my song files (another computer bit the dust), now all of the entries are duplicate, all of the playlists are useless. What garbage software!
