I was under the impression that it was not free, but maybe I am 
mistaken.  

I may try it, but I am also intending to try the free implementation of 
NoMachine NX and see if it works a little better than TightVNC.  I'm 
trying to get the creaky SunBlade to the point where I can use it 95% 
of the time, as there is no way for me to effectively use 2 machine in 
my cube without coughing up cash for my own USB KVM.  I gave up 
my trials with *BSD, as the USB support on the Sun Blade was less 
than ideal (kernel panics and keyboard input so sluggish on the 
console as to be a reminder of <1200 Baud days), and instead
 installed Gentoo.

Adding "Lookout" to Outlook makes searching a hell of a lot easier; you
can even use it to index your HD, too, and public folders.  I hate to pimp
M$ software (they bought the company that originally wrote it), but this 
one is decent, and makes Outlook marginally more bearable.
