Good info. When my latest version of office does not work, I'll move to iWork .
I did not know about he 1gb limitation of entourage as I usually delete most of
my mail. And, since using iPad I do not use entourage that much...just to
delete stuff I have read on the iPad.
Looking forward to seeing everyone next Tuesday evening.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers frank
