Yesterday I wanted to find a message, buried in some folder 
somewhere, and I watched Entourage work on it (bravely, slowly) to 
death.   And I tried to enter lots of repetitious stuff into the 
Calendar.  And then I tried to PRINT the calendar.   Argh!

And I said to myself:  "you know, Tom, you don't NEED to have the 
Calendar "integrated" into the E-mail.  It's not really that cool or 
necessary.  Many years ago, you "did" integrated software (Appleworks 
for the Apple IIc)."   (Neat program!  Cool laptop!)

Those days are over.  "Tom, you have ooodles of RAM.  Your computer 
switches from program to program with speed & alacrity.  You own the 
highly regarded Eudora-5 which finds messages in a FLASH and you own 
the super-cool 'Personal Organizer 3.0.7' from Chronos."  Best 
calendar-program I've seen.

Why, Tom, are you struggling here?

a) software is fun; Office-2001 arrived; I love to play; In my job, I 
need to know these programs and what they do and do not do; Eudora 
drives me crazy sometimes

b) the "community" aspect.  This list, with its various 
AppleScript-ing volunteer wizards, advice-givers, and helpers -- it's 
just amazing!  I've been only a lurker, but I'll miss y'all...

And I reserve the right to SWITCH BACK next week, when Eudora ticks me off...
