Supposidly it is only Outlook 2002, and support said to use Outlook Connector which does not sync. But I am working on it as we speak. Thank you, Eric Vogel ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric C.

I use it at work (Have not tried the video, did sign up at home) with no issues. 160k/128k ADSL (Supposed to be 380k/128k). I would assume the video would handle the same as it is WMV. So give a site like http://movies.yahoo.com watch a trailer, select Win Media Player and try 300k. It plays well most of the time on mine and chokes here and there. Which can be expected because I selected 300k on a 160k connection. (Note I was not useing MSN at the time.)

Open to people in Canada? If so, how would I connect? (Also, my service isn't exactly broadband... I get about half a Mbps down and seldom better than 250kbps up.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric C.

Must activate by 9/30/04. These are promo Pre-Paid so MSN enforces the One Per-Person. Eric C. Vogel has final say in who wins and can change rules/winners. (To CYA, I will run it as fairly as possible). Eric Vogel only pays for shipping in USA, If extra fee, must be Paypaled to me. YOU MUST HAVE BROADBAND. NO INTERNET ACCESS. ONLY CONTENT IS PROVIDED. (Like AOL For Broadband / BYOA) If not, I will give the card to the runner up who has it, and attempt to find something else at lesser value like a small MSN Promo that I have to pay out of my own pocket. Any tampering or signing yourself up will disqualify you from this contest and possibly others. How do I win? Get your friends, family and whoever else to sign up. Get them to fill out the referral form. Wait, How will you know if they will fill it in? If you win the 4 month gift membership, they will win one also. I will not substitute prizes for them. I may e-mail you both cards and ask you to mail or hand deliver card to them. I plan to order MSN 9 Premium CD's to send along also. Contest will end in 30 days as of 4/16/04, which will be 5/16/04 Thank you, Eric Vogel List Owner / Moderator.
