I married my wife in May, 2001, and our Anniversary is coming up, and we ought to do something, but just what? is the Question of the Month. In any event, she came equipped with XP Pro. So, she bought it sometime prior to that.
What is 'Outlook', when it is at home? I do not recall ever hearing of it. Office has been a disaster since it was introduced but, then, I am a WordPerfect sort of guy and am content with WP 7 and QuatroPro and the like. My wife has to use Office professionally (she is a senior nurse manager at an HMO, and, yes, I do enjoy being a Kept Man -- it took me too many decades to achieve this fine status).
Marc says, 'stick with the proven and, as is the case with my Lawn Tortoises, never stick your neck out unless there is food available for the eating'. (Yes, we have two Sulcata Tortoises which we have in our back yard over the summer months. Eric regards me as a hopeless reactionary but, well, he should see these guys in operation -- they graze the grass as if the Triassic Era will never end. And all turtles love to have their heads rubbed but you have to be very, very careful in doing so: tap the shell and their Enquiring Minds cause them to stick their heads out to see what is happening, and then you gently rub their heads. I don't know where I learned that, but it works on all Turtles. I am a great jackleg naturalist on matters such as that, as my very, very best friend, Pati, will tell you.)
