Thanks for comments, people. I do actually run Firefox, so I’m good there. And yes, I still get a little thrill of defiance when I start it up. Both Geee-off and VDub suggest Thunderbird and although I’m not dating or married to either of them anymore, they’re still two of the smartest people I know. But can I really live without Outlook?? It seems such a basic part of existence, taken for granted.

On the other hand, it’s such a “have-to” and there are few things I rebel against more than “have-to.” So the wild child in me is inclined to do the Thunderbird thing. I think I will.

So there, Mr. Gates.
