A friend sent me this. (Be advised that in the Entourage prefs there
are now two categories of prefs that were not there before the latest
upgrade: Sync Services and Spotlight.)

Talk about dense prose! Can anyone parse this/know what the hey they
are talking about here? Replace which Entourage items? This is almost
hopelessly confusing.

Ditto.

Thanks. In the words of the movle title: "Good night, and good luck."
