We've all warmed up to Dean! (Didn't take long.) :-)
ReplyDeleteAlan, let me try this again. Do you use Entourage to view your email? If so, when you open to it, you probably have a lefthand column with your list of folders. To the right of that you see some of your Inbox messages in the upper portion of the screen and in the lower portion of the screen (righthand column) is a place to compose a new message. True?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to me is that the place where I would normally compose a new message flew off the page and I have ONLY a long list of messages that are in my Inbox in that righthand column. To compose, I have to click on "NEW" in the task bar, and up pops a whole new and independent box to compose in, which overlays the list of messages. It's really clunky to work with.
Also, it used to be that when I hovered my cursor over a message it would stop being bolded. To open the message I had only to click once on it. Now I have to double click each time I want to open a message, and only then will the wording be unbolded.
I have no idear what happened to cause this!
Just as a comment, what you describe as your current set-up is pretty much what I've always seen in Microsoft Outlook for Windows. And the way I would expect things to work.
DeleteI would think there would be a toolbar somewhere with something -- maybe under the "view" heading? -- that would let you control what appears on your screen. But hearing that Mac is totally user-unfriendly wouldn't surprise me in the least.
I had never heard of Entourage before, listener. Having googled it, I wonder if there might be some incompatibility between your current versions of Entourage and OS X (or iOS). If so, others should be reporting it as well.
DeleteLots of vehicles on the road to work this morning, which is mostly through farmland. Must be from various things related to the beginning of the growing season. The rush to plant almonds and pistachios seems to continue unabated; acquaintances of ours are among those tearing out grapevines which give them little profit and replacing them with nut trees they hope will be profitable--but who really knows? The appetite of people overseas for almonds in particular seems insatiable, but economies are weakening and the dollar is rising. It wouldn't be the first time farmers have pulled out one type of trees, planted another that was more profitable, and the market price of the new crop has crashed when the new trees came into production. The risks are compounded by the current drought, entering its fourth year; far longer droughts have occurred in California, judging from tree rings and stalactites.

DeleteReminds me of office buildings. When office space is tight, people start constructing new office buildings. Three or four years later, when those building are complete, there is a glut of office space. So nobody builds new offices until space is tight again.
Guarantees that no office building will be profitable when it opens.
Au contrair! A Mac is incredibly user-friendly! I'm just not a very savvy user.
ReplyDeleteI never found it especially friendly. Never could quite get used to not being able to right click, lol! That said: it is incredibly stable, which is worth a whole lot.
DeleteLook at what them dagnab illegals went and done! [Click]
ReplyDeleteBTW, I don’t recall which Republican administration in California changed things, but drivers’ licenses here used to have nothing to do with immigration status—just residence an passing the written and driving tests. It has taken us a long time to get back to where we were. Having drivers’ licenses made into federal identity cards (or so close as to be little different) hasn’t helped.
