   I disagree.  You should review your posts here.  Look particularly at =
new threads you start and you should note that when you post on a new =
topic it is usually you being negative or quoting a negative article and =
jumping on.  Your replies to other threads are often you complaining or =
otherwise being negative.

   Try an experiment.  For the next two weeks anytime you would post =
something negative don't and note how much less you post.

  I don't like to do it at all, indeed I'd much rather compliment =
software
  than criticize it.  However, when I see mediocre software, I tend to
  note its problems.

  The problems with Outlook that I've mentioned here (and the problems
  with MS Word and MS Excel that I've mentioned earlier) are a lot more
  pronounced to me because I was recently upgraded from Office '97 to
  Office 2003.   Office '97 worked well for me.  I have posted here more
  than once that MS Excel '97 was one of my all-time favorite
  applications.

  I can now understand why users are so reluctant to move to the newer
  versions of MS Office --- in more than a few areas, it is a step
  backwards in the ease with which I can do my job.  And the
  screen-cluttering eye-candy of the recent MS Office apps is downright
  annoying.

  And it is not just me.  Our Accounting department was on MS Office '98
  for the MAC.  When they were upgraded to the latest version of MS =
Office
  for the MAC, they also noticed a *drastic* slowdown in the performance
  of MS Excel.  As I mentioned, this is the accounting department.    =
They
  are less than pleased that they paid for an upgrade that was a
  regression in performance.  Needless to say, our CFO is not going to
  look kindly upon future MS app upgrades....
