As long as we're talking about non-thinkpad specific stuff,
let me ask
WHY ARE ANY OF YOU PEOPLE RUNNING THIS ***DISEASED*** SOFTWARE!
The number of bugs in Outlook/Outlook Express has gone beyond
*ALL* reasonability. This software should not be used by anyone.
Over the course of the last several years this software has cost
hundreds of millions of dollars in lost time and productivity, yet
there are people who still use it. Unbelivable!
I urge anyone reading this who uses any form of outlook in any
version TO SWITCH TO ANYTHING ELSE.
Wake up. Realize that MS has no interest in fixing things and
wants to continue to foist this dreck on everyone. Wake up and
realize that it is sheer folly to continue to use this software.
