Agreed! I vote for this.

It's not just an issue of speed. The new gmail design is very hard to read/understand. Red-on-pink is not the best contrast choice. The icons feel fuzzy without the button borders, are hard to decode, and are too tight together.

Strangely, while the icons are all packed tightly, the email list wastes extra space vertically, and requires extra scrolling. Not the best design choice.

The high-contrast theme brings gmail close to the classic design, but it does not work well enough to make the icons more recognizable and recover the wasted space in the email list.

MacBook Pro? No 9 years ago

Some Linux distributions are very competitive nowadays, with many desktop environments to choose from.

A key reason to own a Mac would be to build iOS apps and MacOS software.

For entrepreneurship, I would recommend: (a) Technology Entrepreneurship, and (b) Venture Deals with Brad Feld -- both are team and project-based experiential courses offered via novoed.

Technology Entrepreneurship is focused on the lean startup. The next session is expected around June.

Venture Deals is sponsored by Kauffman Fellows Academy and TechStars and is all about funding. A new offering just started and you can still join at https://app.novoed.com/kfa-venture-deals-spring17/
