Then you'd quickly learn to build custom views with time limits.

And, I suspect that I might actually use the custom view for the calendar,
event, and task stuff if I could actually build a custom view with "this
week", "next week", "this month", "next month", etc.

At least if there were a way that I could store my calendar on a centralized
data store.

Anybody up to writing scripts that use Program Linking to sync E'rage
calendar, event, and task stuff across multiple machines?  I haven't even
looked at the dictionary enough to know if it's possible...

Actually a very useful one.

Having been swallowed by a corporate whale, I find that I've a lot more
recurring events.  I really don't like having to label them "Bill's Thursday
Client Software Conference Call" and "Ted's Wednesday Server Hardware
Conference Call" (or "The Monday morning Conference Call wherein we hold
<unnamed computer vendor>'s hand and reassure them that our hardware and
software still work perfectly find with their hardware and software") in
order to tell at a glance which day they're on...

The date serves as a way to avoid scheduling conflicts...but the day is what
I use during the week to know what I'm doing when.

Absolutely not. ;-)

Maybe in the first incremental feature release.  But with Microsoft focused
on Entourage for MacOS X (EfX), I doubt that we'll see an incremental
feature release.  More likely we'll see a 1.5 or 2.0 "Entourage Classic" 3-6
months after EfX.  But I'm just guessing.
