Update
Slow computer and busy week.  I've done all the onboard speed and functionality tests, with marginal improvements but many websites are still loading so slowly that it's insane.  Or timing out altogether.  So frustrating.  Like much technology, once you're used to it, you really really depend on it and regret its absence or laggardly performance.

Outlook calendars
Does anyone have a good, flexible and workable program or add-on for Outlook 2007?

New think
I had the opportunity to attend a meeting about Office 2007 that I anticipated as being useful but not necessarily anything more.  I was pleased however that I allowed myself to close my mind's eye and my preconceptions enough to jump off the end of the conceptual diving board because I found that I quite like the new place.  I'll write more about it when I have more than a moment but the gist is that the underlying xml format seems to provide hitherto unknown transparency and clarity as well as potential for ease of use as well as complexity of design, if you can believe it.  At first glance it seems to restrict users and perhaps inhibit creativity but it actually expands the possibilities exponentially.  It's quite exciting.  More anon.

Word 2007
Have any rare readers tried Office 2007 yet? Specifically, Word 2007? I'm involved in testing it and we've found that listnums are disappearing only to reappear when a page is printed or refreshed. But that's no way to work, of course. If anyone knows anything or has a suggestion, it would be terrific to know.
