Shouldn't you have put "Got it" in capitals letters? If you did it would
have had more emphasis and I could have ignored it with greater
enthusiasm. Krause you have marginalized yourself and you are on the bring
of becoming completely marginalized. You look for acceptance and
acknowledgement from Tom and Richard every day. It must be a sad life to
live having to be validated by others.

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.

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

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.

Be very careful if you ever try and share contacts between Outlook and
Outlook Express. They store the data differently, and although you won't
lose data, you will end up banging your head on the desk and wishing you
hadn't rocked the boat.

There are lots of PIMs available. The problem is, you have to sorta look
through them all to find one that has the features you like and an
interface that works the way you want.

Thanks. Looked. It's overkill for me.

I have Outlook, but really wanted a small program to run in the
background. I looked at the $20 Post-It notes, and it was nice, but I
thought their must be a similar freeware product.

You can go to Download.com and download Post-It Notes Lite, which is
their freeware version. It does everything I needed, and is very easy
to use.

Thanks. I've decided to go to an integrated address
book/calendar/alarm app. Just have to find it.
I swear I could write just what I need, because I would admire the
author's judgement and skill.
But it would probably take me a couple months and more money to do it.
I've d/l'ed, installed, uninstalled about 10 so far, and am still
looking. When I find one I like, I'll recommend it.
Might give one I rejected a second look, since they aren't getting any
better.

These same "folks" are perfectly OK with the honor of seeing our

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?
