Stands for entouRAGE.

Probably for some people. I actually started using this system in the old OE 5 days, and I've resisted using the calendar. I tried under 'rage '01, and sort-of got it working, but when I upgraded to X it lost all my calendar info somehow. Besides, I can do everything with the keyboard this way... - B -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
