End of an era - I finally upgraded Outlook 98

I have used Outlook 98 since it came out, and continue to do so because it syncs nicely with my Palm Tungsten T5. It is the only software tying me to the Windows platform (I run it within a VMWare image inside Kubuntu).

Due to OL98 not getting the !#%(!#$ time zone updates this year (thank you, congress critters), I decided to break down and buy a second-hand copy. $25.99 from eBay, ironically from a seller located about 30 minutes south of me, and one easy upgrade later, I have a still-supported contact management client.

9 years using one of Microsoft's few fully-featured free-as-in-beer products. It held up pretty well.

To switch to a full-Linux solution, I eagerly await the release of opensync...
