my horoscope this week:

Sagittarius: (Nov. 22—Dec. 21)

First IE, now Outlook. I've stopped using MS Outlook for e-mail, and switched to The Bat!. I was using Outlook XP, and there's been hardly any new features since Outlook 97. The Bat has much better multiple account support, better attachments handling, way better filtering, ability to receive plain text only msgs (damn all you html emailers!), regular expression macros, oh, and no security/virus vulnerabilities. When you get new e-mail, the bat icon becomes animated and starts flapping it's wings. I smile, and say, in my Mr. Burns voice, "Ahh, good job batsy, you've done it again". That's the best part.
