I've had my first Mac-a MacBook Pro-for a year now, after about 25 years of
PCs, and as many years of MS Outlook as it has been around. I wouldn't call
myself a power-user of Outlook, but I have done quite a bit with it,
personally and professionally, and I am comfortable with it.

Since I switched to the Mac-which I like a lot-I have been running Outlook
2010 in Windows 7 under Parallels Desktop. It works OK, but when I have a
computer problem it is invariably on the Windows side and I would like to
wean myself away from most of my Windows programs.

For someone like me, what is my best alternative to Outlook? I also own
Outlook 2011 for Mac, or would the native Mac programs (Mail, iCal etc.) be
better? I want to be able to do most of what I can do with Outlook,
including good syncing via iTunes or whatever with my iPhone and iPad.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

Best,

Jim

Suddenly I am having trouble with Pogo games that use JAVA. The games won't load. (Games that use Flash load properly.) Their tech support responded quickly but the problem remains. 

I am running 10.6.8 and this problem occurs in Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

I have Java SE 6 on my computer. The Electronic Arts tech said they do not recommend uninstalling Java on Macs ( they recommend it for Windows), but he also mentioned Java 29.

Is there something I can do myself? Should I reload Java 6?  There seem to be several sites out there that offer free downloads but I'm a tad confused as to which one is "legitimate".

Or should I just wait until after the holidays and contact my local tech support person to look at my laptop?

Thanks.
Elaine

Happy Holidays!
