Outlook

[ #5268 ]

So it happened. I've actually been officially asked to *stop* using Mozilla as my (work) mail client. Of course they want me to use Outlook because then I can be sent all those appointment/meeting/reminders that automatically get imported into the "scheduler".

And true to form, I've officially decided *not* to touch Outlook with a 5ft pole.

Go me :-)

    People can function perfectly well without Outlook holding their hand - I don't know why Management think we're all lost without it...
    I know that here they like us to use Outlook so that they can look at our calendar and schedule around us if necessary. As a result, I have a permanent appointment for "lunch" every day at 11 so that people won't schedule meetings during my preferred lunch time. >:)
    To be honest, I like Outlook. I know it's virus friendly, but quite frankly if my Windows box gets a vi

I get all my email on my sparc and never go to meetings anymore :) It works so well that I seem to be unable to get laid off and they just keep sending me bonuses.
