What in God's name does it have to do with the MBU??? Apple has made the user Documents folder the Docs folder for people in Classic, which makes sense. No one really needs to boot back and forth much any more, or so apple thinks, so they've made things easier for people in OS X who use Classic. It makes good sense - it protects documents made in Classic as it does those made in native OS X.
It just so happens that it messes things up for people who use Entourage 2001 in both Classic and OS 9, plus freaks like me who keep 2001 around for testing scripts. I'm sure Apple didn't consult MS when they made their decision. There's no good reason for normal people to use both Entourage 2001 and X in OS 10.2 - just switch to X. I'm prepared to take my lumps since I'm doing weird things. It still works just fine if i confine my 2001 usage to when I boot in OS 9. That's fine with me - I don't need it in Classic, since I have X. The issue only arises for people in 10.2 who still haven't upgraded to Office X and are using Entourage 2001 in Classic plus _sometimes_ in 9. OK, so upgrade to Office v. X and use it. I suppose MS doesn't mind if this encourages more people to do just that. -- Paul Berkowitz > From: Harry Zink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 22:04:18 -0700 > To: Entourage mac Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Jaguar problems with Classic Entourage and OE (solutions) > > Seems to me that whoever should have been in charge of the issue of > co-existence over at the MBU really did a botched up job, or none at all, > from what you're describing. > > This could easily have been dealt with, and only requiring one MUD folder, > if the various related folders had 'X' to identify them as such. > > As you said, it's unfortunate that this wasn't taken into consideration. > > Me waits for iCal and iSync to ship, as it stands now to check them out, > albeit to *only* saving grace of Entourage at this point (until the jerky > problem gets solved) is that it's able to tunnel through a firewall, while > the designers at Apple seem to be clueless as to why that would be > important.
