I can appreciate that.  Entourage is nicely integrated with contacts  
and calendar all in one application.  Only problem that I encountered  
when I switched over to the Intel Macs is that it's still PPC based  
(MS is 'promising' a new release for the end of this year) and seems  
(to me) to load slow and run slow...unlike Word and Excel.  I still  
use Word quite a bit although lately I find myself using Pages quite  
a bit more.
To me, the best thing about ANYBODY's personal computer is you can do  
what you want with it.  If I find something that I think works really  
well for me, no matter what anybody says, I'm still going to do it.
So, Linda, if it works for you.....ROCK ON!!!!  Don't let anybody  
else's opinion fluster you.  You are the one who knows how you work  
and what works for you.  All we offer are suggestions based on our  
personal experience....in other words, our opinions.  And you know  
what they say about opinions.......
