Portrait of a User: Alison

Tried and failed:
Nautilus: "didn't like the way it looked"
LyX: "not intuitive, too complicated for letters"
Netscape: took forever to read www.qantas.com.au
Balsa: no address book support (WTF is gnome-card?)
Enlightenment: "nice, but just a bit slow, particularly when ripples were on"
Sylpheed: no spelling checker
