If you ever doubt the power of monopoly to print money for decades even with with atrocious product: the world has long moved on from desktop computers, but in every job I’m forced to use Microsoft Outlook. And I can’t figure out how to attach a file in mobile Outlook. No option.

Maybe there are workarounds but that’s not the point. Monopoly and legacy have strong pull and lengthy life online. Markets don’t function the way they might for truer commodities (even there, it’s complicated but often not this bad).

Also to be clear, I strongly greatly dislike desktop MS Outlook too. And browser. Every time I have to upgrade, I groan. I upgrade because of security, but the user interface keeps getting worse for me. It’s an email program, let me keep my habits! I’ve no choice at work, though.

I love your writing, but Outlook on mobile is incredibly easy for attachments . That little paper clip on the bottom right is default on the iOS mobile app for outlook and is the same on PC.
