Now, now. It *is* possible to have civil discussions with people you have
disagreements with or completely different points of view. It's normally a
healthy exercise but if you get sick of it, you just drop the subject and
agree to disagree. If I were being called all kinds of names just because
of my POV, there *would* not be any discussion.

These same "folks" are perfectly OK with the honor of seeing our
soldiers die while invading the wrong country. Human life is
sacred.
Horse ****.


An unborn child has no control or choice and the decision is made by
others based on what *they* think.
A volunteer soldier is one by *his/her* choice and understands (or
should) the risks and requirements of the job.

Eisboch


Once a soldier's in the service, he has a choice of going where he's
told, or getting in trouble, right? That's not a choice, unless AWOL
is
considered a good choice.


You obviously don't understand the concept of a military.
You don't pick and choose your duty and that is clearly understood
before you raise your right hand.
You are required to obey any "lawful" order. So there's your debate
...
is being ordered to Iraq a lawful order or not.
If our banana heads in Congress can't determine that, how the hell
does
a lowly Private decide?

Eisboch



The soldier joins by choice. The soldier has no legal choice about the
mission he might end up with. He could end up spending the whole time
in
service training for a war that never happens. Or, he could be sent
into
the wrong mission. At that moment, he is no different from the unborn
child. He has no choice.


Strange logic.

A soldier joins by choice fully understanding (theoretically anyway)
that
he/she will have very limited choices during the duration of his/her
service. Military service includes a suspension of many "rights" that a
civilian has and military personnel know that going in. An unborn child
knows nothing and can't make a choice.

Eisboch



Oh well. The analogy makes sense to me.


Was it 'perfect'?

That 'anal-ogy' was just that. About as stupid as ****. Eisboch's just too
damn nice to say it.

Do you really think the friggin' soldier joining today doesn't think he
'might' go to Iraq?

You never saw me make such a claim. If you disagree, find the text which
proves what you say, and copy it into your next reply.

Why?

Non-intuitive, which turned me off right away.
I went ahead and dug in, but when I saw it corrupting my
screen and leaving artifacts, I dumped it.
Looking for a PIM with good calendar and alarms now.
Actually missing Outlook a bit.

There's a product called Act! that's been around forever. Might be overkill
depending on your needs, but it's loaded with features. I've been using it
since its DOS version in 1989 or so.

It's a weird product category. There aren't that many vendors trying to
compete with Outlook, which is essentially free. There are a few, though:

http://www.pcmag.com/products/0%2C%2...ts&stpdinglp=1

or

http://preview.tinyurl.com/2pn7jn

My problem with Outlook 2000 was that it had no place for adding written
notes that were connected with a contact.

Yes, especially if you're picky. I'm reviewing some, have discarded
others. A lot is look and feel, but I want to migrate my addresses -
all personal now - from my old VB app from circa Win95 days, which is
actually a nice address book with plenty of note space. Doesn't have
any calendar or alarm functionality to speak of, and it won't export
data either. Many of the type of app I'm looking for have all kinds
of stuff I don't want.

My problem with Outlook 2000 was that it had no place for adding written
notes that were connected with a contact.

Right. It was real good for scheduling though. I looked at the
Outlook Express on my PC, and the address book looks the same as
Outlook's, but it doesn't even have a calendar.
I'll let you know when I find a calendar/contacts/alarm combo I like.
'Course that'll be just what works for me.
