One person once asked me, "why don't you just use > Outlook like everybody else?" I have heard that. There was a time when I ran OS/2 when it was far superior to anything MS or Apple offered. Then I decided I wanted to go to University in a computer oriented program. I had no choice. Windows it was, but not 98, NT 4 was the best at the time. I have never been able to go back to OS/2, but my choice remains a server os, Server 2016 these days. Which is to say, you don't need to run Win 98 simply because everybody else is. And you don't need to have your calendar built into your email client simply because everybody else does.
