Entourage Is Pretty Nice
I just… er.. acquired a copy of Office:Mac (MS Office 2001), and I must say… Entourage is pretty nice, although I’m kind of confused about something: You know how in the OSX-native ‘Mail’ app, when you type in a mail address, it remembers that address forever, without it being added to your address book? Well Entourage does the same thing. Here’s what confuses me: it even suggests to me addresses that I typed into Outlook 5, which I imported into Entourage. So if Outlook 5 was saving all those addresses, then how come it didn’t have that same functionality? Oh, well. No big deal, I guess.
Right now, I’m either moving to Entourage and IE5 for my internet needs, or Netscape 6 for all of them (including FTP, which it has a kind of neat way of handling.. check it out, you’ll see). On one hand, I have a couple semi-stable products to depend on, albeit developed by MS, or one quasi-stable app to depend on, but by doing so, I support open-source and a non-MS browser/email client. Honestly, I’m liking this ‘Orbit’ theme for Netscape right now. I’ll let you know.
