Because he is, you know, kind of saving some major parts of the world, and he is doing it Nerdystyle...as in, "This is a problem and we must fix it," my Outlook program has developed a major hiccup. It has stopped talking to my ISP's e-mail server, both incoming and outgoing. However, it is perfectly willing to take any Plaxo updates, and send them out. In short, Outlook is still friendly to its brother Microsoft program...everything else? Not so much.
If anyone is reading this, please don't tell me to: get a Mac, download Firefox, return to Eudora, renounce Bill Gates and all his satanic works. I can still get my e-mail by using, ahem, other e-mail-reading programs. This is a luxury problem, most likely caused by a virus that snuck under my Norton shield, or a rogue command/keystrokey kind of thing. Fixable. Not earth-shattering. It makes returning e-mails a little less fun, weeding spam a little spammier, and...gosh, could that mean I'll actually spend less time in front of my computer? And might that not be a good thing?
Or else, hey, maybe I'm being eavesdropped upon in the name of national security! Wouldn't that be a hoot?
