Ever notice how Lotus Notes sucks? Yeah, me too -- every weekday. That's why I recommend using Microsoft Outlook for your PIM (personal information manager); it keeps your Outbox whiter and your Inbox minty fresh. Ah, so you can't stand it? Well, here's something that'll drive the Outlookers absolutely nuts. Create a new message, enter a few sentences, and be sure to include the word "begin" at some point (followed immediately after two spaces). I'd do it for you right now, but then you might not understand what was going on. Why? Well, when Outlook sees "begin" (sans quotes) followed immediately by two hard spaces, it interprets the rest of the message as an attachment. So, what can you do with this besides drive your friends crazy? Not much. It's just a weird thing you might pull on one of those know-it-alls at the office. And I think you already know who I'm talking about.
