On the whole, this is excellent performance, with some minor (and predictable) blind spots due to peculiarities that are as much mine as the program's. Except for the lack of a good loader for Apple systems, I can heartily recommend the program; the installation issues appear to be unique to the Mac platform, and shouldn't trouble Windows or Linux users. Prospective users shouldn't expect perfection, and some effort is required to train PopFile about your mail system. But it's automatic, reliable, and quite impressive.

What I think the portrait misses is that Owen's heavy workload was fairly seamless; I had contacts with him in several of his roles and he was always the same person, working on the same causes, and finding reinforcement from his friends and colleagues as he moved from meeting to meeting. A strenuous life, yes, and not everyone loved Owen Akers, but many did.

Twice today I've hung up the phone on volunteers from the Kerry campaign, and I expect to have more opportunities before the day ends. I've caught a cold, don't feel well, and really don't want to talk to 'em. But it's set me to remembering....
